Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!! Quote:
I went with the stock cardboard one. It only took an hour to put it on. I called around to upholstery shops and the cheapest I found was $300 to do a headliner. It was around $65 because I had to buy the center support but if you have that its only $35. You cant beat that. It would not be difficult to glue some upholstery to it as well. I didn't need anything fancy. Thanks!!!!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Sorry, can you guys explain this wiring problem? Which aftermarket fuse boxes come wired backwards?

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
The flasher was not working and would just stay on when I used the turn signals. I am using the EZwire wiring harness with the flasher unit that hooks directly to the fuse block. The wires for the flasher must be switched on the fuse block. I don't think this would usually matter but I am running all LED lights. I also have the flasher unit for LED lights.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Wired up the stereo and the 6x9 and powered 10" sub woofer. The 6 1/2 speakers in kick panels will hopefully be there this week. Sounds pretty good considering it is missing the 2 front speakers. I guess my next task is the door windows. I am not looking forward to that task.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
looking good! I bought a set of QM MB Quart speakers that are 1/8th a sphere enclosed I figure I will put in the kicks of a truck some day. I had two sets and like a dummy I sold one set, I dont even remember to who! They only made em for a minute, and you never see them for sale any more.
I bet your truck sounds good, thats a fine looking 4th of july pic too!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
I do like your dash. The vents and radio worked great.

I will since its going to my dad but while channel surfing some bumping might have been coming from my garage. I almost did a newer style double din stereo but glad I did not. I am pretty happy with it. When I put the vents in I tried to mimick the gauge placement. I actually plan to go vintage air so there will be 4 old style matching knobs next to the ignition under the Chevrolet.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Hi 28Tudor . . . . 1st off - - - a Very Nice Truck .
Great build from start to Driving ; and for one of the best "Causes"...… your Dad , good on you. Ok . . . this is just info : I have installed all LED lights on my Nova ; installed a 'NAPA flasher # 262 , it made my lights work. But, they would flash 'kinda slow' . . . then, I found this Flasher : ….. AUDEW LED flasher (and its adjustable - rate) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011BTMDQM...novasitecon-20 (better that adding 'load resistors' , to your lights) . . . and, for my LED's it solved my issue - - - could work for you also, and may be just that simple , as changing your flasher (instead of messing with your wires). Then, it's cheap enough . . . (was # 12.00 , when I bought it). Here's my point - - - works great - - - and, I never adjusted a thing just install . . . like 2 years ago . (I like things that work as advertised) . again , very nice truck & . . . . . MAN, it was HOT in Scottsdale on th' 4th . . . . Have a nice day & stay safe ……………. jim |

On another note I took it to be aligned today. They said it was near perfect and did not need to be aligned and did not charge me. I aligned it with a tape measure. The did say the idler arm is bad though. It is brand new so I guess I will be swapping that out.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
I created the mounts for the rear bumper. 3 inch square tubing.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
I also mounted the A/C controls. I like the way this turned out.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Just love the Patina look of your truck. Can't remember if you said or not but was there any other lettering on the door besides what looks like an eagle?

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks. I am pretty happy with it. Definitely worth the extra $50 in knobs. Cant wait to get the actual A/C installed.
Thanks!!!! Quote:
Thanks!!! It says Eagle spirit. I would eventually like to find an artist to paint it the way I really want it. Here is a pic.
