Re: Show us your projects
I have a 52 project. I will do a formal intro later. My father-in-law gave me the truck. I'm in the process of replacing the rusted panels.

My '53's I just got home today.
Great grandfather bought this one new. It's rough, but I had to have it.

Re: Show us your projects
Greetings from the 73-87 side of the forum. I just picked up this '50 last Saturday. Needs cab rust repair but all the repair panels (LMC) came with the deal. Later on I'll be looking for a hood and a rear fender. The truck will rest on an S-10 chassis, air ride, SBC/700R.

Re: Show us your projects
That looks like its a '47 not a '48. '47 was the only year, to my knowledge that had the gas tank in the bed. Either way it's a nice looking truck!!

Re: Show us your projects
The 47 and 48 both had the gas tank under the bed. I used to have a 48 and the tank was under the bed. As far as I know the only difference in the 47 and 48 is on the 47 the park brake was on the trans. and had a hand control then in 48 the park brake was used on the rear brakes on the rear axle. 'And the control was moved to the left by the kick panel and had a foot control.
Then in 49 the gas tank was moved inside the cab. Hope this helps. Jerry Last edited by hottrodd1; 11-11-2010 at 06:33 PM. |

Re: Show us your projects
Jerry
You are correct. Plus...I have the original title, door tag and bill of sale, and it states that it is a '48! They do look alike! It is funny...everyone seems to want to change their seat tanks to frame tanks, even though Chevrolet, in their infinite wisdom, put them behind the seat for many years. Thanks nickP It has alot of surface rust(patina), but very little rust thru. (floor boards) Last edited by IndyBowtie; 11-11-2010 at 07:42 PM. |

Re: Show us your projects
thanks, yeah I built to absolutely waste any of the new supercharged mustangs etc. I haven't had a chance to do it yet though, ha ha.
I don't even have a single gauge yet or my traction bars installed. I use my Tom Tom for a speedo & set the cruise control I installed out of an s10 blazer. Last edited by code4; 11-12-2010 at 12:39 PM. |

Re: Show us your projects
haha.... I've got a friend out here in WA that has a super charged '05 mustang. He could use a whoopin'! But he's working on a new engine. The last time that we raced (I was in my '88) his enging and charger blew up.. ... Now he is working on a new engine. I'll let you know when he is finished, so he can get his butt whooped by one of our styled trucks!
