Building a '49 for myself

[tre5]

I'm finally doing a complete build for myself. It's been a while since I have been able to do a complete build for myself. Some of you folks may know some of my other builds (probably the red 67 roadster). I have a couple projects that I'd like to do for myself but customer's vehicles come first. However, I have decided that I am going to get my 49 done this year! So here's some history on this truck. I picked it up in Northern Arizona, just outside of Flagstaff, AZ. The license plate says the tags expired in September 1978... 3 months before I was born! I guess it was sitting on this person's land when he bought it. He was now moving and wanted to clear out his land for the sale. I ran up the hill (about 3 hours from me) and grabbed the truck for $500. It's a 1949 GMC 3100, but I'll be face lifting it to the Chevy front end.
Here's some photos of the day I got it.
