I KNOW RIGHT!!! It's looking mighty fine and ready for the road. Don't know what else needs to be done to it. However. There's always room for change.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Here is my 1950 I just bought. Been sitting for 15 years, picked it up friday and got the engine running Sunday.

Need to replace all of the brake components and rebuild the carb before I can drive it.

Didnt do the chop myself, bought it with it chopped, not measured it yet but will let you know when I have. Its chassis number defines it as a 3200, but i'm unsure if the rear has been shortened. Now where did I leave my tape measure.....

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Here is my recently back-on-the-road 55. I got it almost three years ago from the 2nd owner, who had stored it in his backyard shed for 30 yrs and then had it painted. He was retired AF, so the Blue Flame Metallic was the closest he could come to AF blue. (of course, I have to change things) He swapped the 235 for a 283 in the 60's, so I got rid of the old worn out top end and put in heads and EFI from a 1989 IROC-Z. That took longer than expected. M22Z tranny replaced the Sag 3-spd. The 1st owner had welded a sheet of 16 gauge over the bed wood. I am now taking the bed out and putting in alum diamond plate sandwiched around a sheet of marine ply. And the roll bar is a recent find on craigslist. I have seen too many bad results on the highway. Instruments, AC and interior is also in progress, but not enough to keep it off the road. It is a million smiles per gallon. (mostly mine)

Yes, there probably are a lot running that combo. However, those pictures probably won't do you much good. It all depends on where the cab was mounted (how far off the frame), and the wheel/tire combo, the powerplant, what springs are in the frame, etc. Even the accessories (A/C, Visor, bumper or no bumper, etc.) can have a big impact on the ride height of the truck.

My dad has a '52 on an S-10 with 2" dropped spindles and it is quite low. But he is also running a 454, original steel bumper, etc.

Your truck is looking sharp, nice resto mod, love the VHX dakotas. And your two tone paint works well. Not over done.

Nice fire truck eagleuh1! Love the rod-tique Chevy tattooedblue I'm trying to sand my IH TravelAll down to the under paint and clear coat it or primer it until further notice. and GraniteGuy............it's beautiful!! What a great way to do flames (but not too much) and 2-tone! Is that static or bagged height?

Sorry bout that mud man. My space key on my other computer is not working for some reason so it can be very annoying typing or reading it. Here are the specs. 57 chevy, Heidts mustang II front end, Nova rear end, 350 bored with a 268 cam.350 trans. The wheels are coming off this week. It has a little more rake than we like so its probably gonna go down another inch in the back and get a little taller tire in the front. Its going to be a driver until this fall until we get the kinks worked out and then we'll tear it apart and do some kinda semi gloss with new interior etc. ( I gotta keep that a secret). We are going with a semi gloss because it will be a driver and we would rather drive it than wash it all the time. (nothing wrong with gloss its just not us at the moment) Later
