Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Coach, What happened between 3/20 and yesterday that you picked up and moved a significant distance across country?
Truck is looking so good. Tell us about the punchlist items you still need to do?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Patina on that truck is spot on! Is that natural?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I would have hated to leave that beautiful shop you built. Are you going to build a new on?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Almost spring in Northern Idaho.....getting anxious to get Henry out to be a daily driver.
![]() Still have punch list stuff to take care of, but since he is driveable, it is tough to buckle down and do it. Slowly getting my new garage organized. Lost a bunch of space from my garage in NoDak. That is probably the only negative of the move. ![]() ![]() Hot Rod scene is great out here. Weekly cruise in's and shows. ![]() ![]() |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Thanks. It was kind of dead space. The back of the truck was always full of crap that needed to be emptied out before he got driven.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I love our new neighborhood. The guy building the truck below lives the next street over, I could hit his house with a baseball from my patio.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Very nice!! I might steal your over the bed shelf idea (slick). Does your truck sit on bump stops or on the ground?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
New garage looks cool, even if it's smaller. Have you decided on a wheel change?

It sits on the ground......but I can actually drive under the shelf at ride height, barely.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Nice touch on the garage, I've been thinking of doing something similar. I used to live in PF and Hayden, but Boise, now. Great place to live! I want to finish my projects and take them to CarDLane some day. Maybe next year...

![]() If you’re determined to make a change may I suggest you paint the wheel either the same body color blue, OR a very rich cream bordering on a faint yellow but NOT yellow. Then I’d suggest installing clips and using ‘51-‘52 cap caps. I had them on my old ‘46 and always got a lot of compliments on them. Hope all is well up in the hinterlands of Idaho! ![]()

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
How fun to discover your thread! The truck I recently picked up is almost a twin to yours. Wish mine had the deluxe chrome option and five window! i'll take time this week and read through your 52 pages (!) , should be some good inspiration.......

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I don't, but certainly will this summer when things get rolling. I was stunned to see another 3600 so similar to mine. Not common. A pic from the day she rolled onto the trailer from a 34 year slumber ........
