Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
How about a Continuous Duty soloniod, about a 300 amp should work to turn off the battery power

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Those brush guards are hard to come by and can be pretty pricey. I got lucky to find one a few years back. Think twice before you modify it because they don't make them in the aftermarket.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Sweet Sweet Sweet truck!! Just read your hole story that was a fun build. I love the way you kept it driving for the most part while you modified.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
buy a new house with a flatter driveway! raising that truck up would be a crime.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Very nice build! My 51 has the same patina color as yours (but it's unfortunately had some bondo repair before I owned it) and you've given me ideas and motivation to get mine going. Thanks and looking forward to your IFS install! Subscribing to all threads

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
When you spaced the steering box out did you do any thing with the mount on the dash?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
No, used the stock mounting location. I did not notice any difference in the cab.
