Hey there!
Hey guys, my name is Brandon.
I've got a 50' Chevy Deluxe cab. Bought it just about a year ago. It had a plate from 1994 when I bought it so I know it's been at least since then when it last drove. So far I've done: New master cylinder Drums and pads New points Coil 12v alt Swapped doors for single pane Misc engine work Removed 3 leafs from rear leafs Bought factory 15" wheels the powder coated red 15" BF Goodrich silver town tires I'm sure I'm missing some things but here is when I bought it and now    I've got a as set of 3" lower leafs coming and I just bought a drop axle with a disc brake setup, and the c10 power steering conversion. I also have a 327 and T5 trans to go behind it. Hopefully in April I'll be swapping it in. In still wondering on how to do the power steering conversion in the since of the steering column. Anyway hi. |

Re: Hey there!
Thanks.
We planning on sanding away all the primer leaving original paint and what's left. Then clear it. This isn't a Rat Rod. I just like it that way. |

Re: Hey there!

You removed three leafs in the rear but did nothing in front?

Re: Hey there!
Looks sweet! Curious about removing rear leafs and nothing in the front too.
It sits nice, so whatever you did, it looks good. |

Re: Hey there!
Lol. There's a reason I stay off the main board. I don't need a bunch of staunch jackwagons telling me how to build my truck. I honestly don't think people like that are true auto lovers.
