Projects 36 chevy low cab

So I inherited this 36 chevy truck. It's pretty much a complete truck. 90% I would say. I have been working on the frame and have a rolling g chassis now.

That will be cool when done!

 

I like your 36,,,also LIKE the 37 in the background. I've had my 36 for going on 44 years, PM me if'n you got questions. Mitch

 

Cab doors have been a pain to say the least.

 

Oh wow. 44 years. The 37 in the background was my dad's. Bought it when he was 16.

 

Floor board replacement is about done. My little China made bead roller has been a great asset.

 

Been working on the firewall. I think it's coming along nicely.

 

It looks like you replaced the wood with steel huh? Good move if you did, mine got new wood twice now. First set was junk and I never got it fitti g right, second high quality kit was much better but I still wish I'd have welded in steel. Looking great.

 

I replaced any wood there was with steel. I'm not sure how much wood was originally in the low cab 36. I don't think there was near as much wood as the 34,35 high cabs. There was wooden blocks under the old floor boards.

 

Yea, hinge pillars, dash/lower windshield header cross piece, lower cowls, between front and rear floor sections and between the cab and frame. I bought all new wood from a gent in N. Carolina I believe, costly, but it should last 100 years sitting in the heated shop. You guys that replace it are smarter than me. Mitch

 

Ton of wood in a 34 35 pick up ,lots of dents too.A time when a truck was used as a truck !!!
On your way to a good looking truck!!!

 

I'm a tad curious. Is your '36 a "Low Cab", or the early '36 with the taller, more squared off cab?

 

Darrell's truck is a 36 low cab ,I posted my 34 35 hi cab truck to show the difference between the 2..

 

Gotcha, I simply looked too fast, and thought yours was Darrell's. My wife had a '36 low-top that had been Joe Wilhelm's shop truck. Sat low, and had a 303 Olds with a Cad LaSalle box. Great fun, with original paint.... Ironically, my buddy has a '35 3-window with all the original wood, and is solid as a rock.

 

It's a low cab
