Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Got a new windshield, rear glass, and new rubber put on the quarter windows. Also finally got the new license plate I ordered a month ago. Also picked up a blazer rear end to swap out.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks!
Thanks! Thanks! I only have a few things left to do. Finish the 1 piece windows, install the rest of the A/C, install wider rear end, bed floor wood and do new wheels and tires with the correct offset.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Picked up an s10 Blazer rear end for it. Power washed it today. I will need a new proportioning valve and might as well replace all the rubber lines on it.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
So I picked up the wrong rear end. Whoops. Didn't realize the 2wd blazers were the same width. Made $120 on it when I sold it. I have a lead on another one and will be picking it up on Monday. Also got the 1 piece glass kits installed in the doors. I finally have working windows and can lock up the truck.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Here is my dad taking it home a few weeks ago. Still need to finish up the A/C and bed wood. He was having issues with the throttle cable sticking because it was pretty long and in a loop. It was binding up a little. When I went to take it off plastic on it broke. Must have been sitting on a shelf for years. I ended up ordering up a new one and cutting it way down yesterday and re-crimping the ends on it. He put it on today and said its working great. Working on my next project which is a shed(almost done) for a short while then its on to work on my 69 Mustang.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Looks good! I thought I was the only one using huge 3" spacers to stagger my wheels. Looks like you had to do the same
