Re: Show us your projects
My '53's I just got home today.
 Great grandfather bought this one new. It's rough, but I had to have it.

Re: Show us your projects
That looks like its a '47 not a '48. '47 was the only year, to my knowledge that had the gas tank in the bed. Either way it's a nice looking truck!!

Re: Show us your projects
The 47 and 48 both had the gas tank under the bed. I used to have a 48 and the tank was under the bed. As far as I know the only difference in the 47 and 48 is on the 47 the park brake was on the trans. and had a hand control then in 48 the park brake was used on the rear brakes on the rear axle. 'And the control was moved to the left by the kick panel and had a foot control.
Then in 49 the gas tank was moved inside the cab. Hope this helps. Jerry

Re: Show us your projects
Jerry
You are correct. Plus...I have the original title, door tag and bill of sale, and it states that it is a '48! They do look alike! It is funny...everyone seems to want to change their seat tanks to frame tanks, even though Chevrolet, in their infinite wisdom, put them behind the seat for many years. Thanks nickP It has alot of surface rust(patina), but very little rust thru. (floor boards) Last edited by IndyBowtie; 11-11-2010 at 07:42 PM. |

Re: Show us your projects
haha.... I've got a friend out here in WA that has a super charged '05 mustang. He could use a whoopin'! But he's working on a new engine. The last time that we raced (I was in my '88) his enging and charger blew up..
 ... Now he is working on a new engine. I'll let you know when he is finished, so he can get his butt whooped by one of our styled trucks!

Been replacing floors and brought home some additional parts today. 3 grills, front bumper with a good filler pan, inner fenders, and some fender braces.

I bought 2 of the $40 ebay fans & made my own shroud. Seems good so far, it pulls air through the intercooler as well. It was tight in there for both so I only have about an inch between the two. |

Re: Show us your projects
Here is my 54 Chevy I've been working on it for about a year now. It is stretched 6", chopped 2.5", sectioned the front of the cab so it will tuck the running boards against the cab and raise the bed to get ride of that huge gap between the window and the bed rail.

Re: Show us your projects
That COE is sick! Do you have any closeups of the image on the door? Mater of fact I think that we need some more details on both trucks. Com'on I know you want to talk about them.
