Still have punch list stuff to complete, but time and available cash flow are pretty slim right now. Been driving him when I can......

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
He's looking great!
Personally, I like that you took the bumper guards off. It's a cleaner look. Seems like you took steel wool or polish to the grill and bumper(?) anyway, he looks really nice. Congrats!

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I liked the bumper guard, but it hung down below the bumper and was always scrapping on the ground.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I know you've moved on from the dropped axle (way, way on)--but I was hoping you or some followers could identify this power steering setup on an AD. It appears to be a 70's-80's steering box ahead of the axle, but is the linkage & steering arm a kit? It would appear to solve some header clearance issues, but is it functional?
