Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

Marc, no paint this winter, I want a to get some more miles on before it's "done" if there is such a thing. Lots of small things to change, My 28 spline Craigslist 4:10 posi pig works good but is kinda noisy so I'm putting in a 31 spline 3.89 and Moser axles. I still have to make front inner fenders and plumb the A/C as well as a long list of small things to do before paint. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to detailing a finished truck and primer doesn't require much work, so another year in grey is ok with me. Thank you for the kind words.

No rush, I was just razzing you. Driving them is the best part. I still have to get my A/C charged. I have acouple small redo's myself but with me starting my 53 suburban project I can see that I will have problems focusing on the 48.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

Here is a '47 I put together a few years ago with help from a lot of friends.

There are so many nice trucks on here I humbly offer mine to the group.

On deck is a 1948 Suburban to build after I finish the 1935 Chevy Coupe.

Lowrodder Chevy, The wood came with the bed I purchased from Mac Pro in Moberly Missouri and I don't recall the species...maybe oak. The wife and I coated the boards with multiple coats of poly with steel wool smoothing between coats.

Thanks. Sadly yes we sold it. Wife needed a better car for 8 hour commutes we were doing so something had to go. On a positive note, the truck went to a well to do gentleman that had it built at Karl's Performance and it came out a high dollar very nice truck.
