1936 Chevy Chevrolet Truck

Found some left-overs from a resto at the swap meet last weekend. Put'em together in the backyard for the wife's Hot Rod Planter box

 

Thanks Bill
Not exactly what I'm seeking on my thread
Willing to sell those parts?

 

Mines a 38 Chevy half ton, Close but not quite.

You may want to take a look at some of the Gel batteries out there, such as Optima as an example. You can mount them on their side, upside down, anything and anywhere. Which really opens up your options. I'd almost leave it where it is, get a Gel battery and mount it sideways, so it'll save a bunch of ground clearance.

 

Under the passenger side floorboard.

 

That is pretty much what mine is like as well.

 

Thanks,

My wheel base is 105" and my bed is 64".

Under the floor is great, I opted for the bed, because I have watched so many struggle when trying to get or give a jump start to a fellow rodder. If I ever put it under the floor I will put a remote post for ease.

Just my thoughts.

Like these old trucks

 

Correction I need to measure the WB.... it should be 109
Like you if I keep under the saet there will be a remote positve post
Or just put under the bed????

 

I can reach the positive post from the engine room. I have a door on the floor in the cab that allows access to the negative post with a disconnect on it.

 

here is mine

 

Lets see more pics

 

Completed yet another goal........
Was able to my project back under cover
Went into newly built "small" garage under my deck
Just enough space to work during the winter
Hope all goes well
Anybody else updates?

 

Anybody close by? Got extra parts? Maybe getting another cab soon

 

I live in Connecticut....you can private message me.....

I put my battery under the seat but I built up a box area and sunk the battery so it was partially exposed underneath to ensure it would stay cool. Hinged the box top so i could lift it up when the seat was folded forward.
Build used 69 Nova front clip and rearend (3.08) the Nova mono leaf springs and gas shocks. Camaro rear sway bar. Very smooth ride and great handling. Kept drum brakes to keep wheels inside fenders on front. Drive train was a 350 4bbl 4 bolt with a performance power glide. Box was shortened to end where the frame did. PU Box was built using sheet metal and 11/2 inch exhaust pipe. Running stock truck to finished rod was 18 months. Haven't come close to that record for a long well. (pre kid daze)
attached a picture of truck

 

Any more pics out there?

 

Here's mine

All Stock everything.
