1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

Traded a .22lr Henry Golden Boy for this '50 model 3600 flat bed and trailer made from a 47-49 short box, then scored a S-10 frame for $100 bucks. Only using the front clip and rear axel... Started the tear down a few weeks ago. Gonna build a 3/4 frame from 2x4req tubing, custom rear suspension, air ride, LS swap, new chrome, clean interior w/ A/C, 15" steelies and wide whites.

That's as far as I've made it on the tear down. Goin to set up my frame table and start laying out the the new frame and doing minimum rust repair on the cab corners and floor. Hammer out the majors dents in the sheet metal and call it good.

Congrat's on the new house. Very nice!

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

I got a bed with cut running boards and a 3600 with short running boards just like you did, its easy to make them a complete set again!

cool project! good luck!

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

Thanks 👍happy to have my shop and house in one location finally and no more renting a building.

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

Nice truck, maybe mine are torched close enough to the cab I can recut them and splice em together. Not real excited about my bed not being the same color either but it is what it is. May do a little body work and spray it all one flat color. Not sure yet.

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

Really nice house. Now get to work! LOL

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

Super nice place. Let's see, four up front of house, and two in the metal building. That's six, should be OK for a couple years:lol::devil::metal:...Jim

Re: 1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser
 

The shop will hold several. Just like to keep the finished stuff in the garage clean.
This just one end where I built my bathroom later.
