Re: '49 chevy with s-10
I used an '89 s-10 standard cab long bed for mine. What are your plans for suspension? I went with a 4-link in the rear which allowed me to center the wheels in the fenders.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
I just bought a 48, I can't decide which way to go on the suspension. Like most of us out here, I don't have a drum full of money, so can't decide if I should clip the front, invest on a mustang II crossmember. What all do you have to do to a S10 chasis to sit the truck? What year can I use?

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Awesome lookin' build so far man,great job! Definitely will be subscribing and watching for updates. I looking to start a similar project myself.
What did you have in mind for front and rear bumper brackets? Are the stock ones pretty close to fitting the s10 chassis? I've seen a few of these chassis swap trucks that are not running either bumpers,didn't know if it was for a reason. Keep up with the good work! ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
I agree,these trucks look sick with the bumpers layed out,as well as the running boards! Can't wait to get my project started especially seeing yours,I'm in search mode now lookin' for a decent truck for decent money. All the trucks around here are either over priced rust buckets or over priced bondo buckets,solid trucks are few and far between.
I think my favorite quote from an old guy that had a '51 for sale,"yeah this truck is real solid especially the cab,just solid." So I ask,"how are the floors?" He replies,"oh it needs both sides they're almost all the way gone." WHAT???!!! Posted via Mobile Device
