Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

Short day in the garage today.

First line of business was a muffler bracket. I had a waste chunk of angle iron that fit the bill perfect. I am unsure if I am goingto run my tailpipe out the back, or just bend a 90 and out the drivers side under the running board.



I then started installing my seal belt kit. Followed the instructions below and it went really smooth.

A small chunk of safety wire was used........I did not want to drop the bracket and not be able to retrieve it.



A little paint will dress that right up.





Some of the welds were tough due to location. I had a tough time getting my head back there to see what I was doing. Not too pretty, but should be plenty strong.





Next project:

Strip old seat covers.
Cut out rust in floor pans and wire wheel complete cab.
