Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
So my latest project (69 scout) is about to leave my garage for the summer since its so hot and the 52 Chevy is coming back for the A/C install, receiver hitch install, clear coat and bed wood. Updates should be coming soon.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Those wheels look like the E-T torque thrust style wheels I ran when my truck was together. Same center spinners and all...well, the top was broken off of one spinner.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks!!! Waiting on parts. I am thinking its going to get an LS swap next winter after I get all the suspension and wiring bugs worked out. I haven't seen any pictures of your new project. Would love to see it. I feel like every one you do it gets better and better.

Nice truck! So hows the one-piece door glass working out? Who makes the kit? Easy install?

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
I was never really happy with the gas pedal placement and where the brake ended up being. I fixed these both this past week. I added 3" to the brake pedal and I used a 2001 S10 gas pedal and added some material and put it where I want it with a torch. It works 100 times better. I am going to finish installing all the ac vents and replace the compressor then ship it off to have the A/C finished.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
happy 4 year anniversary of starting your project, and two year anniversary of having it done and driving. ever heard that a picture is worth a thousand words? a driving truck is worth more!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
shoveling sh!t! no really, pic attached! we got a rental and then two more. and another property in the same neighborhood that will eventually be joedoh estates. its a metric ton of work but will be lucrative when we get everything fixed (hasnt happened yet)
I am working on 41-46 chevy mounts, almost done. I made a couple BIG changes to the 47-55.1 kits, still waiting for first articles. ford F1 kits next. I have a 54 I will start a project thread on when i get first articles of the new kit changes. thanks for asking!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Definitely a project of a different caliber. Next item on the list is my cruise control.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Who made the cruise control? I got mine from Dakota Digital, it's installed, and I can't wait to try it.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Wondering if anyone has an extra set of the rope tie downs for the bed? Cool original ones would better. Otherwise I guess I will make some.
