Build update: a frame has been sourced came from a mid 90s explorer 4 door, I have talked with some people who have done this swap before and they...
Ok now I’m curious is there any pictures of homemade boxes built like this?
For suspension as shown in the example photos I’m after a drop front I beam and 4 link rear,
If you all are only going to post negative comments and be rude find someone else to be rude with
I like that design, I like that one a lot, what did you have to do to the floor to make the transmission clear?
I have a lot of experience in starting to get really sick of posting this, I want plans to know exactly what would fit this body style
Hi, I have been looking at a lot of frames lately for 40s Chev pickups to swap on my 42 but every lead is a dead end and locally they don't grow...
That’s very odd as 43s models didn’t exist apart from military vehicles
41-46 is the only style that would fit? I thought there would have been more options that could have interchanged, I put my 62 C10 on a 71 frame,...
That’s really silly, something like that is sweet, even if you take a big truck cab and turn it into a “bobber” style truck? I think that is a shame
Show some pictures, what is the plan for it?
After a little bit of flip flopping back and forth this one will be running fenders for a couple reasons as I have all the front fenders and...
Let’s see some early chev pickups done fenderless and open wheeled as traditional hot rods it’s my build my way
It’s a hot rod not a stock restoration for now I want to run open wheels this is my build I’m doing it my way but im keeping everything to convert...
Update, after some careful research and looking there isn’t the kind of frame I’m after for the fendered look and the astronomical prices for...
I know there is no way you could buy a complete one for under 10k here let alone a rust free example, I never thought I would own one either and...
No this is not my first build this is planning and it’s on a list of many, I never had one of these before or anything to do with a pre war chev
I’m curious what makes you assume I have limited experience? This is not my first build I have been doing this since I was a kid, I have plenty of...
I like that patina one with the ad rear fenders that was well executed
Maybe consider the fact most people don’t have infinite cash, these are rare and this is more than just “a few parts” it’s my build my way what I...
Does anyone know which exhaust manifolds would fit the best? I still want to run a manual steering rack I know on the v8 swapped 47-54s header...
How hard was that swap? The bed width matched? All the mounting points were the same?
Some of them can look good fenderless, however with mine I’m keeping the fenders, I have a good set of rust free half ton fenders with an...
Lets see how 41-46s were done back in the 50s and what would be some cool period correct touches to this one
Does anyone know where to locate the original serial number on these trucks? Also wondering if a 41-48 car windshield frame would fit because I...
I believe they make a adapter plate for the trifives with the original 265s for a later transmission that would mount the starter correctly
This is the 42 when I bought it, it was on a 63 Chevy frame that the previous owner bought to use that frame under a COE, I wanted the body, it is...
I want a boxed frame, it’s a batter idea over the 80 odd year old original frame and finding a rust free frame that old in Canada?
Hi, I picked up a 42 Chevy truck cab, fenders, hood the whole front half. The body is in really good shape, not rusted away to nothing, fenders...
As far as this engine swap goes I’m looking to have a little bit more power than the 300 (210 hp with 2 barrel ) would’ve put out from the factory...
