Re: 1952 Chevy 3 Window Truck Chopped...

thanks guys!

well we have made more progress on the truck. we can officially say that it has brakes. we bent and installed all the hard lines and rebuilt the rear drums. with the master cylinder mounted under the cab on the frame we were able to bleed the brakes. then with the cab off we began floor repair work. the center floor section was left off so that we can fab a hump to clear the tranny. once that is finished the cab will come back off for undercoating ext.







we also sealed battery box hole and a few other holes we will not be using. next we will open a hole for the dual reservoir master on the driver floor.

this week we hope to have exhaust intalled and the cab finally mounted once and for all so that we can begin electrical installation and steering connections.

That's the way I did my firewall. It's pretty easy to do and should look good when done.(Mines not painted yet, but ready for primer...)

This months issue of Custom Classic Truck has a similar procedure done on a Task Force truck.
