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.

Ya it's a stick, and he really isn't the best shifter. I'll have to let you know when he gets it re-built. Besides he is nowhere near 850 rwhp. You'd have it in the bag.

Concept picture. Truck is at final paint right now so I need to decide.

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.

Kabwe · 11-23-2010, 02:26 PM

Looks good.

S10Fan · 11-23-2010, 10:42 PM

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.

fat57 · 11-24-2010, 05:33 AM

This is my 54 chev COE and my sons truck that i just built for him, and you will also note another shell there which is a 54 pickup for my youngest son. you can see more on our website/blog www.fat57customs.com

**youngrodder** · 11-24-2010, 09:22 AM

What an awesome fleet of trucks.....I love the COE....Just sick!
Nice work

Marc

nickp51chevy · 11-24-2010, 12:59 PM

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.

sgtusmc · 11-24-2010, 01:09 PM

Yeah, I agree with Nick. Let's show & tell.

Some dent knocked out.

nickp51chevy · 11-26-2010, 09:00 PM

^^^^^^ Nice! Just put the engine and seat back in and you're done.

51 okie · 11-26-2010, 09:04 PM

Have my wiring harness mostly in, brake parts, master cyl., and fuel tank waiting.

Any info on seat parts would be helpful. Springs etc.

Thanks

51 okie · 11-26-2010, 09:07 PM

And wifi is great!

51 okie · 11-26-2010, 09:16 PM

Thanks nick. I'm only about 7 weeks in. Trying to the big stuff done before it gets too cold. For the first round at least.

Tuned55 · 11-28-2010, 07:34 PM

Man I love the COE also!

I know this build won't be for everyone

Here's my build. I'm building this for my wiife. I have a real nice 3 window I plan to do for myself once this is done on a Z06 Vette

I've had this truck for about 10 years. My plan was to build it after my 55 BelAir. Well 6 years later my 55 is done. I built it on a C4 Vette with a LS1 6 speed and love the way it drives. So I decided on this for the truck.
I sarted on in about a month ago. First two weekends I stripped the 98 C5 Vette to the frame to get it ready for the truck cab. The Vette was bumped in the front with 68k miles. Air bags didn't even deploy but it did have a salvaged title. I narrowed the frame and sat the cab on it yesterday.

Started with this

To This

To the narrowed frame

And this so far. I will take 10'' out of the front of the bed due to the shorter wheel base of the C5

nickp51chevy · 11-28-2010, 07:50 PM

Tuned55, I like it, and I hope that you start a build thread on here. I've thought about trying something like that also.

skidmark · 12-02-2010, 04:06 PM

I figure I better start here, new to the forum with a new project.
It's a 1951 GMC telephone truck. I'm going to install a standard bed and take the work bed and make a rolling barbeque tailer out of it. Both the truck and trailer will lay on the ground. it will make it easier to get to the hot dogs and brew. Name: 3k83m03l15O55Z55R2abcb1f1574fbfd7169e.jpg

Skidmark , thats a sweet truck. I love your ida about the bbq'r. That's great. Good luck to you.

skidmark · 12-02-2010, 08:23 PM

51 okie, I figured it would be a great trailer to have at an event where there would be a built in ice chest , gas grill, big stereo and storage for supplies. Pop the lawn chairs out and everybody could have a gathering place.

Chevy51 · 12-03-2010, 02:00 PM

I tried earlier to post pictures of my 51 3/4 ton, after frontend and rearend conversions. Will try again,Sorry!
