No, its not cleared. I still think i may do it. My paint still shines a little.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

It looks good! Nice truck! Nice build!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

With shaving the firewall, did you fabricate the sheet metal or was it premanufactured?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I just traced the firewall out on some poster board, then transferred it over to sheetmetal.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Any body have all the metal diagrams to fit the body and bed to the frame?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Awesome build ! Subscribed :)

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Awesome build. How long did it take you start to finish? Great fabrication/craftsmanship.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Thanks guys. It took me about 3 years to get it to where i could drive it around from the time i bought it. But I didnt work on it for a bout 8 months after I got it. Gathered parts. Its never finished tho!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Going to take it to the rod run in pigeon forge this week the 15th thru the 18th. If you see me out give me a shout.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Sold the truck at the rod run. Went up there with no intentions of selling it, ended up being offered enough to let it go.... thanks for all the help and tips guys. I got a 54 i started on, will start a build thread for it soon!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Sad to see it go but congratz on getting the price that was right!
Looking forward to the next build.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

When you start the '49 thread, please post the new link in this one. Thx

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Great build im trying to follow ur footsteps but i have two questions if you still remember. What bushings did you use and what wheels are you running? Those wheels really caught my eye.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Jarias- those are Mobsteel wheels.

Layedout- a couple more questions as I make progress, if you don't mind.

Since you used drop spindles, did you need notchless tie rod ends as well? Or were you OK with the stock steering pieces with the drop spindles?

What did you do to get the Raptor liner to lay so flat? I watched a few videos and it got to looking rather chunky- one of the things I liked about your project was how smooth the liner looked.
Is the raptor liner any good at deflecting heat?

Thanks~!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Sorry for the slow reply man. I have been really busy.i did not have to notch the frame for tierods with the drop spindles. The raptor liner i just sprayed a bunch of thin coats and stayed pretty close. If you get back a little further it makes more texture. And the raptor liner was good for hear, but I also used fatmat inside the cab to help with sound n heat.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I picked up a new project. Just starting on it. I may make a build thread for it.
