**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2007, 09:50 AM

Well I finally picked up another project that I am gonna build with my father in law,1956 chevy swb. I t has been stuck in this shop for 10 years and its a cali truck.. I am still going through the boxes of parts so I m still not sure of everything that I have but heres what I have so far. All new glass,new vdo guages,tilt column,b@m shifter,recovered bucket seats, paint ,primer and clear came with it. It has a nova front clip and rear with posi power steering and many boxes that I have not gotten to yet. 400 small block with a th400 tranny with b@m guts and pan. Well heres the pics not really sure what Im gonna do other than put it back together and drive it. Bed it perfect and only to spots of cancer on the whole truck....

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2007, 09:55 AM

We were told the truck would fire right up and run but that was not gonna happen so after the fireballs through the carb we went ahead and loaded it on the trailer. The drivers door in in the bed of the truck both doors have all ned guts still in the baggies from golden state pick-up parts.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2007, 09:59 AM

The truck is loaded and ready to go to its new home...........

ChevyDude · 08-26-2007, 10:04 AM

Congratulations!!!! Those trucks look awesome when finished and done right! Looks like a really good start!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2007, 10:07 AM

That box im looking into has all the new seals for the truck. the fire wall and door jambs are shot a mustang blue/green but the truck will be red when its done. Got her to fire up after some new plugs and setting up the points dizzy. The truck had suck a massive air leak that it sounded like crap,so I tore off the carb the guy just installed and he put the star washers down and then put the carb gasket on top and followed through by putting the carb on top of that

A new gasket and the washed on top of the carb and its runs and sounds great. Brakes still work and the posi has no problem lighting up both tires.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2007, 10:10 AM

The guy even through in the engine stand.....

Lat of the pics for now gotta get out there as the sun is starting to come up..

PBFAB.COM · 08-27-2007, 12:32 AM

These are my favorite body style of trucks... I have a few with big plans... some day! Until then I just enjoy your guy's builds! Looks like a solid starting point.

72BlckButy · 08-27-2007, 08:38 AM

What a score! Why did they decide to get rid of the truck after all that work? Good luck on the build. Any idea's on the scope of the build?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 07:50 PM

The guy got rid of the truck because the wife likes to shop............ more progress..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 07:55 PM

Heres a few more progress pics tryin to get the sheet metal all covered in primer and looking for any hidden rust. The inner kick pannels are shot but someone already filled in the heater so the kick pannels will get filled also. Here are some of the goodies I got in a box. Check out those sweet vdos in the billet pannel...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 08:03 PM

New peep mirrors,new amber signals,new door strikers,new chrome door handles,new vent windows tinted blue,new door rubbers ,door gaskets,inner door handles,new chrome vent handles,new headlight gaskets,new door linkages... I under coated the inner fender wells.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 08:09 PM

Under coated inner fender and the new b@m air cleaner. Yes I know there is a glass fuel filter on ther but it was only to make sure I was getting fuel when I was trying to get her started. I also got the reprimed fender back on with some help..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 08:15 PM

anyone know where to get the patch pannels for these?? Also anyone have pictures of what the inner kick pannel should look like. CARNAGE!!!!!! to the finger..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2007, 08:17 PM

Last pics for today...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-28-2007, 08:27 PM

Ordered my hinge pins and body patch pannels from wes at classic heartbeat today and went by the paint store and got some sanding supplys and some more under coating.....

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-03-2007, 01:00 PM

Got my new hinge rebuild kit friday just need to fix the rust on the doors and rebuild the hinges... Also orederd the battery hold down and cab repair patch pannel. I got the new wind wings and glass(tinited blue) also had the chrome mouldings for the windows redone.. Pics to follow later today.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-15-2007, 03:03 AM

Pulled the drivers side fender off to fix the rust at the bottom lower hinge area and found out someone got creative witha hammer,not sure what or why they smashed in the outter kick vent area but here it is in all its smashed in glory....I tried to hammer it out from the inside but ended up haveing to cut and hammer it back flat.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-15-2007, 03:08 AM

Got the outter piece hammered and welded back in and shot it with some undercoating... On to the rust area at the bottom....

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-15-2007, 03:11 AM

Patch pannel is welded in and just needs the back side boxed in. The last pic is a shot through the door hinge area before the rust was removed and cut out.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-15-2007, 03:15 AM

Welded up the old touneau cover holes and started the door work...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-16-2007, 08:16 PM
