Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Nice fire truck eagleuh1! Love the rod-tique Chevy tattooedblue I'm trying to sand my IH TravelAll down to the under paint and clear coat it or primer it until further notice. and GraniteGuy............it's beautiful!! What a great way to do flames (but not too much) and 2-tone! Is that static or bagged height?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Sorry bout that mud man. My space key on my other computer is not working for some reason so it can be very annoying typing or reading it. Here are the specs. 57 chevy, Heidts mustang II front end, Nova rear end, 350 bored with a 268 cam.350 trans. The wheels are coming off this week. It has a little more rake than we like so its probably gonna go down another inch in the back and get a little taller tire in the front. Its going to be a driver until this fall until we get the kinks worked out and then we'll tear it apart and do some kinda semi gloss with new interior etc. ( I gotta keep that a secret). We are going with a semi gloss because it will be a driver and we would rather drive it than wash it all the time. (nothing wrong with gloss its just not us at the moment) Later

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Sounds like a nice build Brownsville, like the being able to drive it part, not much for shiny paint on my end. Good thought on the rake too.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Truck looks so good, so why not the c10 chassis again.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
First, the width. I had no idea how much work it was to shorten up the track on a vehicle. Bought high offset wheels, widened the fenders, brought in the control arms, an it just BARELY fits without rubbing while turning.
Second, rigidity. Unless you're gonna box it all. I have extra support cross bracing and it still twists easily. I can see it in the box when I jack up a corner. Finally, the frame of the c10 has a drastic dip for the cabs, in 1984 anyway, then you have to pick your poison, to change it so its all on the same plane, or mount the cab in the dip and fab the front and rear body panels to accept the higher frame. In the end, I welded the center section of the 54 with the cab mounts into the center of the 84 frame. It was a pain. Thinking the s10 would have been the way to go. |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Here is mine. 1957 Chevy mostly restored. Just needs a lot of TLC.
Crap. Pictures won't load. I'll try again later. Something about a security token...

Cool truck, I don't see very many fleet trucks out there. I like how GmC used the Chevy dash and no frills mesh grille. What plans does your son have for this truck? Restore? |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Thanks. Had to bail on a 55.1 pickup that I was building, in favor to cart around my new set of twins. We found this one pretty much as you see it. Monte front clip, 454/turbo400, PS,PB,AC,PW. Plan to convert back to sliding windows, get rid of that 300zx hood scoop and touch up a bit. Plans to change the interior as well. Rides awesome.
