PACO

Here is mine 1947 on a 1984 s10 ch***is with air bags

 

Bagged, like your truck alot....Jim

 

This is my 51

 

did you have firewall issues with the valve covers and distributor

 

With a small make over.

 

looks much better without the old navy on the side. I dig it.

 

It was hard to remove Old Navy from it. It was a great conversation starter. I have met a-lot of people by them just coming up and asking about the doors. Guess ill have to be social now! NAH.

 

Coleman aircraft towing tractors. They were used for moving B-47s and KC-97s. They had big Buda inline six engines. I was an Air Force mechanic, 47151. They didn't have a steering wheel at each end. The cab was made fron Chevrolet sheet metal. I actually worked on them when I was younger and stronger. They used Group 12 batterys that you had to lift up to the cab. A group 12 battery was about the size of a wooden apple box but much heavier.

 

Cool pic....Jim

 

I can now offically post to this thread...It's a pretty rust free & straight 54 GMC (orig green on green) 4spd with an open driveline. It's gonna need a little drop, new motor, rear fenders, front and rear bumpers, new wheels/ tires, new tires, etc. I'm gonna put a want ad up for these items cause I know this isn't the thread to do it. Here's right after I picked it up:

 

This is a pretty sweet ride, I really like the wheels, anybody know what they are?
This thread is awesome, I love all these trucks, definitely going try and pick one of these up for my first project some day!

Murch.

 

Wow wow wow wow might be my favorite ad ever perfect in my eyes

 

Murch---supreme/with custom tires from HURST

gump-- it has a 4inch chop and a 6inch stretch

 

Much appreciated, really like them, definitely going to use a set of those on something someday!

3.5 years later, different truck, i really need to weld up some bumpers

 

Nerf bars would look good on that. Simple out back. Maybe thin and low, contoured around the grill. That would look good with the chrome reverse.

 

clean *** truck....

 

Cisco here has any one made their own 52 chevy bed if you have can you post a pictuer

 

some cool rides on here

 

what i'm working with!!!

 

looks alot like the one in your avatar, always liked those 51 chrysler caps.

 

Thanks bro

 

at the suede place

 

last year at the hippy killer hoedown

 

nice trucks

 

there the same truck'just a year later.

 

Mine is just a work truck. it's not that low but with a m***ive wrap around 52 DeSoto bumper looks good coming at you. I'm not a fan (not that anythings wrong with it) of artificial coolness like bags and hydraulics

I'm at a cross road in my mind. I have a 55 Cadillac 331 with 58 El Dorado tri-power. hooked to a truck granny geared 4 speed. it is a very good 4 speed tight and shifts like ****er, but..... I also have a rebuilt 12 volt GM 3 speed OD that would not only be fun but increase miliage and cruising speed.

I'm 6 years into this 6 month project. to put the OD in I'd have to Install a new cross member (no Problem) change the drive shaft and replace the 3.0 gears in the narrowed nine inch rear end. plus I need a floor shifter

I've all ready spent over $1900 on this project, counting the price of the truck. Just not sure how much more I want to throw at this money pit!
