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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Right, I'm glad it puts a smile on your face :)

Back in California in the 40's, having a Custom that was a little nose high was not unusual due to the amount of lead the guys were using to fill and smooth the rear of their cars. Fast forward to the mid to late 60's (when my Dad grew up) and having the rear of your ride a bit lower in back was just cool. Gives it a bit of attitude! Like they're ready for take-off. My slammed '62 Buick LeSabre sits the same way :D

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Details on those rims, I would like to run a set of those on my 50 using the 96 s10 standard cab long bed chassis.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 

Absolutely gorgeous 55.1. :metal::metal::metal::metal:
