A 47 I built. It IS finished! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4 inch chop, Mustang II front, homebuilt 3 link in the rear and less than $2500 in it. Wish I had taken build pics but I wasn't about to take the wife's $1800 digital camera to the shop!

very nice man. What's pushing it? Do you have any interior pic's?

williej45 · 12-12-2008, 01:12 AM

Just to be odd, it has the 235 that came with it when I got it. I did have to raise the motor/tranny 2" to keep them from dragging. Interior has an extended shifter, s-10 seats, a mid 70's tilt wheel and not much else.

Nice looking project, great work!

OrrieG · 12-12-2008, 07:07 PM

Looking good! See if you can find a split exhaust maniford for the six, they sound really good and smooth with duals.

Igotachevyor2 · 12-12-2008, 07:57 PM

yeah split header with 2" strait all the way back

looks great

Bigblue29 · 04-13-2009, 09:22 AM

Nice looking truck. I get up to breckenridge a a few times a year to visit the grandparents. It would be cool to check it out sometime!

williej45 · 05-19-2009, 10:44 PM

The owner of this truck painted it flat black (left the lettering) and added a flame thrower to the exhaust. Got a call from him on sunday to let me know that he took 1st place in a local car show! He said there were a dozen or so rats and to top it off, the Frankensteiners Club out out Minneapolis MN invited him to their next show.

Bigblue29 · 05-21-2009, 08:36 AM

Let me know If you get down here! I would love to see it!

63 & 64 Bowties · 05-21-2009, 10:36 AM
