mikes1950chevy · 02-21-2010, 11:00 PM

nick that is the place for the new cowl panel i got. I cut the old one out

nickp51chevy · 02-22-2010, 12:03 AM

Thats what I was thinking.

mikes1950chevy · 02-25-2010, 04:52 PM

Going to put the other fender and runningboard on this weekend. Going to roll outside so i can get a side shot of the truck. Then do alittle sandblasting to the truck. Will post pictures from my phone have to get laptop fixed to upload from camera

4DSEVEN · 02-25-2010, 06:10 PM

Your truck has a nice stance.

Would you mind taking a measurement from the bottom of the floor board to the ground.

I am trying to figure out my ride height.

mikes1950chevy · 02-26-2010, 12:23 AM

4DSEVEN i will get the floorboard measurement tomorrow but i do know that my running boards and front fender are 9 inches from the ground want to go alittle bit lower thats on a stock s-10 frame. Want to get to about 5-6 inches off the ground

astjohn · 02-26-2010, 12:23 PM

Mike, did you find the parts you needed at Larry's yard? Did you leave anything for me?

mikes1950chevy · 02-26-2010, 04:50 PM

I ended up spending 200 dollars. I got 2 fenders, 2 doors, a tailgate in perfect condition(which im going to sell u dont need one do u) and a side splash apron. Im going to go with a smoothed tailgate.

astjohn · 02-26-2010, 08:41 PM

Sweet, I was hoping you guys found some good stuff since you had to drive so far to get there. I don't need

a tailgate right now, I am working on getting the cab mounted to the frame and doing suspension and patch panels for now.

mikes1950chevy · 04-06-2010, 09:26 PM

Its been about a month since ive been on here. Got my cab sandblasted and bought new doors, and got the truck back together

ratty 46 · 04-07-2010, 10:59 AM

To go along with Augy49s comment about the two alluminum accessory brackets. I had problems with mine also, the ps pump/alternator bracket, It sheared all the bolts off in my head and the two at the bottom on the block. Idk if its from the alluminum weakening over time but I had hell with it.
