49 Chevy on a 2000 ZR2 low buck build
It was suggested that I start a thread on my build. I'm not sure many are interested, so if you want more let me know.
My build started out in life as a 1/2 ton, worked hard enough to enjoy a 14 year retirement in an old navy store. Now it's making a comeback as a 3/4 ton, NAPCO looking truck sitting on a 2000 ZR2 frame and drive trane.
I didn't set out to build a 4x4 but got lucky and came across a ZR2 that had been rolled over. It belonged to the owner of a scrap yard and had been sitting inside without a body since he got it in 2001 with 18,000 miles on it. He was liquidating the place and after hearing about about it at 11:00am one morning I owned it when the auction ended at 5:00pm. Here's what it looked like when I first saw it June 08. Just try and get the stock radiator to fit under those fenders! So much for my low cost build. Did I mention this is my first build. So much to learn,, so little time.
