New here with our 49 5 window

Just signed up for this forum and have read many of the build threads and hope to ask for lots of help in getting our truck running.

Without pictures we don't believe you have the truck!
(Not really, just trying to motivate you)

Welcome, what are your plans for it?

Re: New here with our 49 5 window

Thanks for the welcome.

My wife took this on the way home in the rain storms. Stopped to get burgers at in-n-out.


Still on the trailer been raining/storming the last 2 days.

Plans??? still doing all my homework, but thinking of going with a clip either Nova or Malibu. Want disc breaks before I let my kids drive it. Currently has an Impala rear posi rear end and getting a Turbo 400 and a 238 six from the seller later this week (came with the truck).

I will get more pics tomorrow when I get it off the trailer.

NE of Tucson about 45 miles.

Got it off the trailer but had to run to a Supper Bowl party so will get pics later.

Looking to do the IFS and a 4 link in the rear as soon as I can get the body tore down.

Re: New here with our 49 5 window



Grill and fenders are off and will be taking the bed and front off this week. Looking to do a sub frame. Any suggestions on what yr./ model I should look for?

Re: New here with our 49 5 window

When you take the bed off pay attention to how it is supported. It looks a little tilted compared to the cab, hopefully just poor temporary attachment and not a frame or cab support issue. Does look like a good one to start with.
