Re: Show us your projects
 

I guess I can make this my first post. Bought this 59 a few months ago. Currently in the process of getting stripped to bare metal for more body work and a repaint. Going to keep it somewhat stock looking but lowered with skirts. I hope to debut it at the next Lonestar Roundup in April.

She's a good 20 footer. But really she's just a pig in a prom dress.

This is my 1950 chevy pickup thats has been chopped and shaved and sitting on a s-10 frame. The first pic is what i started with and the rest are what I have now

Re: Show us your projects
 

i like that front suspension. seems to be a quite a bit beefier than your plain jane mustang II setup.

i would also like to see more pictures of your 4 link and how you did your framerails for airtanks... sounds sweeeet!!

Re: Show us your projects
 

Heres my '49 GMC

Re: Show us your projects
 

What are your plans for it? If I may, make a suggestion; leave the body and paint just how it is.

Re: Show us your projects
 

Honestly I am doing a restore with a few mods. With a super duper paint job I plan to do myself. Practice will make perfect... so they say

Re: Show us your projects
 

Oh your just being kind.lol She needs a lot more than that. But she will get it in time.

Re: Show us your projects
 

I picked up a lot of three trucks. I got a 48 long bed, a 50 two ton, and a 51 short step. I have plans of making a four door crew cab. I have already put it on a streched S-10 frame. I would love to know what everyone thinks!!!!

Re: Show us your projects

The first one is before I lowered her.

Re: Show us your projects
 

is the lowering done yet? any pics

Re: Show us your projects
 

Looks like a very nice truck.
You need to do a build thread with lots of pics.

Re: Show us your projects
 

No I haven't completely lowered it yet cause the tires were gonna rub against the fenders, but I just bought rims for her.

Re: Show us your projects
 

My current project is a '54 GMC 1-ton. I'm building the truck to pull my car trailer. I plan to use a Cadillac 500 with TH 400 and a GM 14-bolt at the rear with a '72 Chevy C20 IFS at the front.

This is the truck.
http://www.oldsub.com/images/2007/08...100_3595sm.jpg
It's an original Hydra-Matic dually. The motor runs terrible and the transmission shifts clunky. It also has a 70's type sunroof and the seat pan has been removed. I don't think its a candidate for restoration.

But since the Hydra-Matic frame is special I'm using this truck, another '54 GMC as a frame donor. This cab isn't as nice as it looks.
http://www.oldsub.com/images/2007/08...100_3545sm.jpg

This picture is the frame pushed out in the yard for a bath. You can see the IFS mocked-up on the front and the 14-bolt in place at the rear.
http://www.oldsub.com/images/2009/07/03/100_5829sm.jpg

In this picture I've almost completed mounting the IFS and power steering box.
http://www.oldsub.com/images/2009/09/07/IMG_0056sm.jpg
Ignore the red lines and text, I accidentally saved those while dialoging with my brother about some details of the project.

Since that picture was taken I've disassembled the rear springs to clean them up and correct some wear issues. Once I have them back in place I'll take some final measurements and then commit to the mounting location for the IFS.

And once both front and rear suspension are complete I'll mount a cab (probably the white one) and start working on the location and mounts for the motor and trans.

Thanks for looking!

3 cabs, 7 doors, 1 bed, and one 1.5 ton front clip down, 1 cab to go!

Re: Show us your projects
 

Just picked up a 57 chevy half ton short bed with a 4" chopped roof. I obviously got a 58 or 59 front end, anyone want to trade so I can make this what it is supposed to be? What I would really like is a 55-56 Gmc grille, bumpers, and fenders and a 57 GMC hood. This stuff hasn't got any rust holes so should be able to get something for it. Oh yeah, this has a camaro front end too.
