Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Well I'm happy to say that I can finally put a picture in this thread. I got my front bags done.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Don't mind the rust spots... Lol

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

What size tires are you running front and rear? Also what brand and how wide is the white wall? Looks sick by the way!

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

I second what 54 says... like the wheel tire set up.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

I've been looking to get some wide white walls and kinda been stressing out about what to get, are you guys running all the same size tires? I wanted to go with a wider tire out back but everything I'm seeing in a radial will also have a taller white wall, mayn't I'm wrong but I think it might look kinda stupid with a 3" or 3 1/8" white wall in the back and a 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" up front, but then again maybe it's not that noticeable... Let me know what you guys are running, thanks! Steve

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Looking good 4Dseven. Do you have any pics
Of your 4 link setup? Also where did you get your 700r4 tranny. I've got a 383 also looking for a 700r4 to go with it.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Beautiful ride 4Dseven, very nice.:canada:

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

4DSeven...Whos MII Did You Use? Whats Your 8.8 Out Of?

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

I have pics of the four link but am out of town at the moment, I can dig them up. The 700r4 I got from an old suburban that got in to a wreck after 1 month of having a new engine and tranny. Ended up picking it up for $100.

The MII was from a donor that we rebuilt. The 8.8 was out of an Explorer.

The build has taken 5 years.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Nice man. I'm using an 8.8 out of a Lincoln. Did you use a pan hard bar or a Watts type link or...?

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

4DSeven... The Explorer 8.8 Has A Small Offset Pig..Did You Shorten One Axle Or Just Weld It Up Offset? I Used That Rear In A 31 I Built. I Had A Vibration From The Driveshaft Being Off Just A Bit.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

If I recall we swapped the axles out at the time. Went to a Chevy bolt pattern too. Possibly an s10? I'd have to check with my buddy at the shop as we had so many changes along the way.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Here is my 59 Fleet. I have been working on it for some time.
265/40's in front and 305/40's in the rear.
Camaro clip raised into the frame rails, bags and 2" spindles.
Hand fabbed triangulated 4-link.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

59 Full custom is right..:c2:

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Here is my current project. In the tear down stage now. This pic was right after I put tires and wheels on it. This truck is getting a cummins 4bt with a 5 speed manual trans.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Boom! Looking good PBE!

Your truck is amazing.

Beautiful.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

48chev, what frame are you using?i know s10 but what yr.? is your 48 long or short bed? not sure if I wanna s10 swap my GMC LWB or just ?MII n 4 link stock chassis

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Its a 89 s10 standard cab long bed chassis. My 48 truck is a short bed.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Here are some pictures of my new toy. 1951 GMC 5 Window. She's getting a bagged s-10 frame swap. I love that patina.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

I'm using a 1992 extended cab short box. its a pretty direct swap.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Nice project and "real" patina too.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Yeah it took me a while to find one that wasn't ruined. Thank you.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Just primered my Dad's '54 today, figured you guys might dig it. MII up front with dropped spindles and cut coils, 4-linked and bagged 80's Caprice rear-end out back. 305 roller motor with a 2004R backing it up.

This truck is being built on a tight budget, but everything my Dad does, he does the best he can with what he's got! :metal:

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Sweet truck how bout some pix inside bed engine interior

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

I just edited my op with a pic of the dash and steering wheel (the rest of the interior isn't really photo worthy as of now, lol). I just realized I don't have any pics of the bed or engine, sorry man.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Very clean. I like the looks of the rear lights.

Marc

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Those steering wheels are so cool

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

bob_o your dad's truck looks great! Quick question... What is keeping the front from laying out as low as the rear? Is it bagged? Just curious,I'm thinking about using a mustang II in my future project.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

And........ I just read your post. Not bagged in the front. Sorry about that. Maybe I should try reading before typing. Lol.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Pops has pretty cool ideas from time to time, haha. When he told me hewanted to run '50 Ford tail lights I told him to keep any "foreign" parts off his truck! Ha!

Definitely. Dad spent a small fortune having it restored too :waah:

Haha, no worries man! He had the front of his '64 Olds 88 bagged and he hated it, so he decided on a static drop for the front of this truck. He prefers to have the nose of his rides to be bit higher in the front, '60s style :)

I don't have any pics of the rear set up, but I'll try and get to my Dad's house to snap a few in the next couple of days. Wheels are stock 15 x 7" 5x5" GM steelies off of an 80's Caprice cop car. Not sure what the back spacing is. I know he's running adapters on the front because the track on a Mustang II clip is so narrow, plus the rotors are 5 x 4.75" bp and he wanted to run the same wheels at all four corners.

You're very welcome :metal:

And Pops wanted me to make it known that the truck is For Sale! I'll be posting an ad in the Classifieds soon :chevy:

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

bob o - what ever your dad loaded into it ... it's the nads. Looks fantastic. The blue/white combo's spot on for the nose high ride. Dig it!!!

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Ha! Thanks ratty! I'll tell Pops you said so :)

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

bob_o: reminds me of a friends old Corn Binder tractor ... nose high all the time with a tag axle. We use to razz him about delivering to the moon!!

One of my favs.
