47 Chevy AutoX Truck

[AutoX_a_Truck?]

This is the '47 Chevy AD Truck that my Dad and I built together in 2009.

The plan was to build a truck for autocross events that would be a ton of fun for less than $1,000 or so. The plan worked, and after I won a few events we continued to make upgrades here and there in the search for more speed.

It started as a rough $50 farm truck that we put on a $200 S10 chassis using a few hundred dollars in spare parts and swap meet finds. The initial build took about eight months.

Since then the truck has went through a few phases. The 15" tires were never adequate so eventually the 15x10 Cragars and 400 treadwear tires made way for 17x11 Cragars with sticky autocross tires. Minor suspension tweaks turned into a full set of RideTech Triple Adjustable Coilovers, racing seats and so on.
