Reworking Blackie (52 Chevy)
I bought this truck in 2011. I have always loved the look of them. This is what I start with.
1952 Chevy 3100. 305ci/th350, Malibu front Sub, Camaro rear(Picture of the day I bought it home.  I didn't really care for the look of the visor so I removed it 2 days later.  Drove it like this for about a year. Fast forward to 2012. Decided I wanted some different wheels   Drove it everywhere. Love this truck. Fastforward again to 2015. I start thinking I wanted a better ride, brakes and different motor. Started on 2 of the 3. Took it to a guy for some frame work and new rear. Before Picture after wood was removed  Started boxing frame and installing 4 bar.  Finished at shop. Back home for paint, brakes, wiring, fuel tank, brake lines, etc  Took it all apart to paint.  Going back together  New Gas Tank and center section arrived.  Rear back together with Z51 C6 Brakes, Viking Coilovers, New 20x10 TT2s   This is a picture from Yesterday when I pulled it out. In the front I did Viking Coilovers, Z51 C6 Brakes, 98up S10 Blazer spindles with sealed bearings, and 20X8 TT2s  I will probably drive this way until next winter when I want to start the Motor swap......... |

Re: Reworking Blackie (52 Chevy)
Very nice work and your truck looks good! What brackets did you use for the Corvette brakes?

Re: Reworking Blackie (52 Chevy)
I like the visors on these trucks, and installed one on my TF. but I agree with your decision to remove that one. It looks like it is too long and blocks a lot of he windshield. After looking at the pic, could it be that it was just installed too far forward? Your truck looks great. I'm a little "old school" and liked the red wheels but it looks great with the new ones too.

Re: Reworking Blackie (52 Chevy)
I used Kore3 components in the rear. I actually started with c6 z06 brakes but had fitment issues. Decided to use Front c6 Z51 brakes for front and rear. I had to machine the rear bracket bosses to center. I also used a c6 z06 rear rotor for width reasons.
Rear tires are 275/35zr20 |
