1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The best feeling today was buying my first lot of stainless and grade 8 bolts. They will attach all this sheet metal back on. Doing some alignment and fitment. This looks pretty spot on to me.

I did this by putting a 4x4 and 2x4 between the frame and cab mount cross bar, then a 4x4 between the rear of the frame and cross member. That way I could mock up both ride height and the front fender across the wheel well. A little jimmying got it all setup right. I'll also now know how high I need to make my cab mounts. Win, win!

with flash to try more light
