Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
Thanks Kim, you're doing a pro-street right?
The new one will have to wait for a bit, as soon as the snow goes bye-bye I have to overhaul my shop. The thing was built on low ground and turns into an indoor pool in the spring The plan at this point will be pretty similar to the old one- lots of horsepower, stock body with all the trim, low stance and the same wheels, I've had them for almost 30 years and the new owner didn't want them |

I think this should be a sticky. Much motivation inside.

The S10 frame is almost ready, it is painted and the front is already bagged.. I just got my rear air ride set up today so I will start that project tonight.. I am going to run the 4.3 with the 4L60E..

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
Been working on this for about 7 years now, owned it for 10. Bought is for 3k, as an abandoned project that had been sitting in a field for well over a year.
350/350, 10:5.1, Comp cam, 10-bolt 3.24 rear, pro's pick bed, 75 firebird front clip - just need to get the front skins painted (this spring) and get them back on... Need to get some updated photos when the weather improves |

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
Here's my 51. Had it for about a year and a half. Pulled it off a farm in western Kansas where it sat for about 38 years. I have put a 235 in it and made it run, go , and stop. I drive it any time its nice out.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
51 okie, You have a very nice truck. Its really solid and unlike most of the farm trucks the fenders and running boards aren't full of dents. Having the visor is a plus too.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
Thanks guys. There are definitely some dents you can't see from this angle, and I have knocked some out. But they are just telling the history of the truck as far as I'm concerned. I have yet to do the floor repairs to the usual rust in these. Keep it on the road!!

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
Heres our 48 truck. We are down in New Zealand so they are somewhat harder to find than up your way.
Its got Jag suspension front and rear, Jag steering and currently has a 250 Chevvy 6 and 5 speed Toyota in it. As I race a blown BBC T bucket, we will shortly upgrade it to a 350 and auto. Both front and rear suspension are mounted as per the factory, (rear rubber mounted & still in the cage) and the towbar will go on shortly |
