Here is a rendering that @jmforddesigns did and I changed a little so it looked like my truck.

I set the fenders, I started on the wiring with help of 1/2Dozen who is a member on here. We got it running :) I went with some nice headers that were for a c10 but work great for my build. I love the matte white

Following this one !

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

I like the seat !
Did you make a new back cushion for the top part of the seat or just remove some springs?

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

The upholsterer got rid of all the springs and hand molded all the foam.

Looks awesome, great work man

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Nice work! The raptor liner looks good on there.

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Thanks guys. Finally got it fired up! Runs awesome. I made most of the rad support, I found some steel and used my sheet metal brake to make a fan shroud. Fits good. Hopefully I left enough clearance between the fan and rad. I also made some tabs to hold the condensor on. I painted it all with black raptor bed liner, love that stuff !

Here it is after I made the shroud

That is what I'm going for. This truck should be pretty light also so I'm hoping for a truck that I cruise all day long with no over heating, cool air, comfortable to drive and still has power :metal:

Love the matte white/black look!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

I have the body all painted now,just have to install the gloss black bumpers, door handles, exhaust trim for the rear fenders that I made and headlights and some owner stuff :) I'm going to stain the wood black also.

I agree..I never would have thought black and white would go together on a ad truck but you have pulled it off..

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Thanks guys !!!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Yeah, the truck looks really good!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

looks outstanding!

do I spy a little "chevy lean"? drivers front a little lower than the passenger front? if so, man I cant stand that, its my nemisis. :lol:

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Looks sweet - nice job!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Looking good!

Has come a long way, and looks great...Jim

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Absolutely bad ass man. What did you do for your core support (is it home made) and mounting of front sheet metal? How high are your cab mounts above the frame?

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

For the core support i used some of the sides of the factory 52 part, and then I made the rest. I made l shaped tabs that I welded nuts to for the frame mounting part. The fenders still bolt to the core support part that I made and I did keep the factory hood latch.

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Looks killer

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Really nice finishes - love that seat and the door panels!!!!

Are you going to black out the running boards too or rhino cover them or?

Nice job!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

installed all the black trim https://s30.postimg.org/92375b2oh/IMG_4282.jpg

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

That looks great!

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

:five:It's lookin good, you know it's looking so good:four:

Hey, it looks like you're using the stock seat frame, is that correct? The upholstery looks great but I'm questioning how that can be done with the stock seat? Seems like the springs wouldn't allow that much sculpting.

Anyway, outstanding build. Really love the look. Truly "outside the norm" and excellent. Congrats.

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Yes, I'm using the stock frame but my upholsterer made the seat purely out of foam. It has no springs and is so comfy.

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

seat does look great...maybe your guy outta market some of those ad seats..

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

It's actually a lady and she does it out of two stall garage. She did my seat, door panels and headliner for 950 dollars.

Re: 1952 Chevrolet 3100 on s10 frame with LSX- build thread
 

Hagen..Where did you get your rims from? I went to the stern website and every wheel they have says out of stock..thanks
