Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 - Bumper Punchin'

so what's new... well, the fire wall is cut and back together, the rear frame is boxed as much as i can for now, the clip got fitted last night and it looks like the radiator might work as is(with the firewall notch) and the front suspension was dry fitted to see what size tire i'll be able to run.

Looks like a 15x8 with 5" BS running a 235/65/15 will work just fine. the bottom of the fender is going to need to be trimmed, but it's all under the the truck, so no one will know. that tire should leave me with about 1.25" of ground to running board clearance.

I also measured for a steering column. Looks like a 30" column will be ideal. I'm considering getting an Ididit plain steel column with tilt, but i'm going to look at the swap meet this weekend to see what i find.

Other than that, I'm waiting on parts from scotts to move any further forward.

Oh, and i ordered an alum radiator and a full wiring harness this week. My wallet hurts!
