Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Yep, mine is so close to where i thought it should be that i just left it in the stock location. I considered moving it back a little but after looking it over decided it would work where it was.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Got some time to work on the brakes this weekend. This is my first time making brake lines. At first i was scared to death but after a good friend of mine(that just happens to own a hotrod shop) came over and let me borrow some brake tools and gave me some pointers i think i can make this thing stop.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
The chassis is looking good. Making your own brakes lines is not too difficult, esocially when you have the right tools.
Looking good. Marc

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Rooster-
Thanks for the kind words. I hope to put more miles on it this summer. Keep up your progress....we'll be watching. What is the width of your rear rims? I was going to go with 295's in the back but they were on national back order so I went with 275. I'm glad that I did because the 295'3 would not have fit. Marc

Sorry to hear about the 295's but my rear rims are 20x10 with 4.75 backspace.My rearend maybe shorter than yours because with the tires all the way up to the top of the fenders they will clear but it is real close!! But with the truck at ride hieght i have about 1/2 inch on each side to the fender lip. ![]() |

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
My rims are 20 x 10 with a BS of 4". I should have explained that it was the outside edge of the tire that would have hit the edge of the fender. It my be the 3/4" that made a difference.
Here is a pic. I also have a 4 link so I'm not concerned as I don't have any side to side movement. Marc

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Rooster-
I don't recall. My frame uses a modified G-body frame and I looked through catalogs to find something from a G-body that had the correct filler location. I had to cut the filler neck down. Mine fills from behind the license plate. I also sent the tank out Rockvalley and had a fuel pump retrofitted inside it. This is because I'm running an LT1. Thanks Marc
