Another New Guy building a 49'

[mayor31]

This will be my first build after 17 years of dirt track racing had to find a new hobby. I got this truck that had already been started and sitting on a S10 Frame with a Blazer Rear end. It is one of the Old Navy trucks that they used in the stores for display. I found a GM crate motor and a 700r4 on Craigslist and going with that as my drive train for now. I have installed the fuel cell under what the bed floor will be and have Framed up what will be the new bed floor since truck has been channeled. Still need to install the rear sway bar on it. The cab floor was framed up when I got it and I have been working on installing the sheet metal in it, I got a Tilt Gm van column to install and going with Hydro boost brake system. I sat the engine in per normal mounting brackets were intended but have since moved them around and have gotten the engine back another 4 1/2"-5". Figured it would help with handling and give me more clearance for fan and radiator. I cut out the old firewall and put a smooth one back in. I got this truck about 3-4 weeks ago and hoping to have it done by spring time if not sooner. Going to leave the body alone but make the engine compartment nice and painted and also the inside of the cab. Thanks for reading I have been a Lurker on here for a while now have something to post
