Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!
Here is the battery box I made.
 The bottom bolts are for locking the box in the up position. To lower the box you remove the bottom bolts and loosen they top bolts (nuts are welded in) then lift it slightly to get it over the lip and it comes down. |

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!
Thanks - that is what I really like about this pickup build - I get to use whatever I want and make my own parts (my GTO is numbers matching so I was limited). So far I have used a Chevy 350 (that I modified), 78 TA posi rear end (that I rebuilt), TH700 (that I rebuilt), Mustang II R&P steering, doing all my own bodywork, my own painting, etc.... I'm learning a lot and having a GREAT time doing it. I've looked at most of the builds on this site and always get pumped up - there are some talented people out there!

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!
It really is a blast when you can do what you want and incorporating some of the ideas from the awesome builds here. I like the fact that it's not a daily driver. You can throw the hammer away and have a beer when you get sick of it or have some buddies stop in for some beers and see what you have got done. I hate the pressure of having to fix one of my vehicles cause we need it the next morning. Only have hockey during the week with the boys so that free's up the weekend for the truck. Bring on the zip disks and welding wire!

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!
True, I'm glad I'm able to take my time and not be rushed - makes for a longer build but I don't really care. I want to fit the steering column so I can patch the small arch in the dash (for the shifter rod) and was wondering what length steering column to use. Also, I like the looks of flaming river but not the price. What did you guys use?
