Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Whats a Super Deluxe SCHRUM? I have only heard of the Deluxe model, which I thought was mostly the bed spear trim and rear cab window trim....

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Decided to get it out from under that tree and under some cover. I'd like to have it in my shop but I have too many other ones in there right now. When I get a little farther along with my current project I'm going to start on this one. Hopefully in a few months.

It looks like you kind of like vettes too. Kind of funny that I once had a Roman Red 62 (300 HP) and a 65 white roadster! Have we run across each other on the Corvette Forum?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Love the art deco trucks. Mine is a bit newer than yours, a 56 taskforce series but yes I have installed a 496 big block and a 540 Alison transmission.
The first thing you should consider is the brakes. Keep in mind when built they never expected these trucks to run over 50 mph.
The next hurtle you will in counter is the steering box will surely be in the way. The 4L80 is a great plan as these trucks are extremely low geared and unless you swap out the rear end there are no gear options available.
I have most all of the problems to this big block swap worked out I will come back here and post a link to my photo bucket page for you. I also plan on starting a build page in the future.

I use the 62 solidaxle over there also, but just to sell parts that I have collected for the last 40+ years!

Still have my first one I bought in 67!

I spend too much time over here, because of all the good folks that have helped me with this new addiction for trucks, just like the one I had for Corvettes
