Re: Project: Patina (1949 Chevrolet 1434)

I ordered some 8-10 Lug adaptors and some 2" 8-8 spacers for the dually. I also dropped my wheels off for polishing and a clear powdercoat. I hope to have them on the truck with tires shortly after Easter. Stay tuned!

The 49' project has had some decent progress in the last couple weeks.

I cleaned up the front panel on my bed.





I traced out both bed sides to clear the wheels I plan on running







I also cut my rusty green fenders down for inner fenders. They are roughly cut to size. Once I lay wood in the bed I do some fine tuning to them!









Inner fenders mocked up!





The medical box in the bed will be used to house all my air ride components. I will be running copper hardline within. I got some tank and compressor brackets made by Overkill Customs out of Alberta, Canada. They are currently at the powder coater getting some gunmetal grey colour.





My welder sprang a leak in its original 3/16 gas line. I had to run some adaptors to run a new 1/4 line, which is now industry standard.



This little Miller 140 is perfect for what I'm doing!



Truck is loosely mocked up. I just bought a couple bags of bolts to hard mount everything.



My bed is mounted much like Hussey mounted his. I mounted my angle iron 5' up from the bottom of the bed sides. It seemed to work with the code 504 kit. I still have to add a couple more cross bars and figure out how to use some of the code504 mounting brackets that came with the kit.



Thats it for now!
