Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!

Following this build and it's inspiring. I've got a 50 that's going to be in the shop soon. I saw you were running a 9" rear but did you consider any other options? I've read a lot about using Camaro and Explorer rears. Just wondering what your opinion would be.

I don't have one right now, but when I run across one I'll let you know. We run out west quite often so I'll look around.

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!

The frame looks sweet! Those air bags look familiar........... Semi cab/sleeper air bag or maybe an air ride seat air bag?

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!

Looking great! Hope to see more pictures once the doors are on. I've been thinking about shaving the drip rails on my project, but I can't find good quality pictures of other trucks with the same modification.

Awesome building skills!
The aftermarket outer cowl panels need a little work for the hood to clear. The holes are still there for the hood hinges. Thanks

The doors will be bolted on next week after the wiring is finished. It was alot of work but well worth the end result! Thanks
