Looks killer!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Got a new windshield, rear glass, and new rubber put on the quarter windows. Also finally got the new license plate I ordered a month ago. Also picked up a blazer rear end to swap out.

Nice...Jim

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Thanks!

Thanks!


Thanks!

I only have a few things left to do. Finish the 1 piece windows, install the rest of the A/C, install wider rear end, bed floor wood and do new wheels and tires with the correct offset.

Very cool shot of the truck!

Thanks!!!

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Picked up an s10 Blazer rear end for it. Power washed it today. I will need a new proportioning valve and might as well replace all the rubber lines on it.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

So I picked up the wrong rear end. Whoops. Didn't realize the 2wd blazers were the same width. Made $120 on it when I sold it. I have a lead on another one and will be picking it up on Monday. Also got the 1 piece glass kits installed in the doors. I finally have working windows and can lock up the truck. :metal: Next up is installing the A/C.

Love this build

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Thanks!!!!!

Picked up the 4x4 Blazer rear end. It's ready to go in.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Rear end is installed and proportioning valve as well.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Nice upgrade....well done

Marc

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Yeah, that new rear end looks a lot better.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Robert, nice job on the change up, looks great...Jim

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!! Actually seems to stop better too.

Thanks,
Ken :)

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Here is my dad taking it home a few weeks ago. Still need to finish up the A/C and bed wood. He was having issues with the throttle cable sticking because it was pretty long and in a loop. It was binding up a little. When I went to take it off plastic on it broke. Must have been sitting on a shelf for years. I ended up ordering up a new one and cutting it way down yesterday and re-crimping the ends on it. He put it on today and said its working great. Working on my next project which is a shed(almost done) for a short while then its on to work on my 69 Mustang.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Congratulations.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Saw my trucks bigger brother at Lowes yesterday.:lol:

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Looks good! I thought I was the only one using huge 3" spacers to stagger my wheels. Looks like you had to do the same :)

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Yeah no more spacers on the rear end.:metal: I only have 1 inch spacers on the front as well. I had the 3" spacers on all wheels and the turning radius was really affected by them on the front. That would be the biggest reason not to use them in the front.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

Thanks!!! He will be bringing it back for me to finish up the A/C and bed sometime before the summer.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
 

I was reading through old post and saw this. I had to laugh.....I am sure its true with many projects. How is your truck coming along?
