Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Got my rear bags installed today. I set my frame up with re7's, but then decided to go with re8's in the rear.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
I was just going to yell at you for no pictures. Here I thought you were working on your air stuff. Least you're gettin it done. Kinda hard to find a old bumper. New ones are easy.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Before you do anything you need to learn to sleep in. 5 is just to early for anyone.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
The motor is a 300hp/350 with a 700r4 for the tranny. I was going to go with a different set up for the carbs, but my friend that has the hot rod shop bought out a performance parts buisness and passed on the killer deal he got with this setup.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Alright that seems like what most guys are doing I was looking through threads and remember seeing one guy said they had a smaller diameter so he cut down regular sbc headers but I can't find it and just wanted a second opinion thanks looks like your project is coming along nicely

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
I am working on a 51 3100, but thinking on the S10 frame, there are plenty of them trucks around the house, would it take a long wheel base or short to put the 51 body on?, That 49 loooms real good to me, Keep up the good work man.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
If you don't want to lengthen or shorten the s10 chassis you need to go with a long bed regular cab s10. They have a wheel base of 117 inches. Your 3100 should have a wheel base of 116 inched so should fit well.
