Nice score man. I am also building a 49 Jimmy as my first project. My only suggestion is go with a 4-link in the back. I'm doing a leaf setup...
Kick ass man. Again, excellent proportions. Looks like it was well thought out. How much of a chop is that?
Well then its a no brain-er then isn't it!? Stroke that sum-bitch! Do what you will be proud with. Forget all the rest. This is coming from a...
Damn man, you continue to amaze and inspire me. Your work reminds me of my uncle who could jerry rig just about anything, except his shit never...
Why not make the notch yourself? 2x3 tube should work nice, here is a build thread that you can use as a reference....
Nice truck. I thought I would chime in and give you some good mojo on your first build. I am workin on my first as well, and it happens to be a...
I wondered about that too. I'm doing a late leaf spring swap on my '49 GMC P/U. I thought about pushing the forward hangers outward to make them...
Kick ass! Thanks. I'll do some hardware searching tomorrow, see if I can't find a snap ring to fit. Those pics are a far cry better than what was...
@nickpayton I tried that too. No luck. I've looked at Patricks and LMC but nothing listed. Its probably a $3 part that would make life easy, but...
Before I go hacking up some good old metal, can somebody give me a hand on this piece? I've searched everywhere, but can't find what was...
Whats up from another Tucsonan HAMBer. I know what you mean about the job market. What kind of work do you do?
Welcome to the HAMB. I admire your skill. I just started learning the art of pinstriping. It sure is addicting. I'm 32, in hindsight, I wish I...
Enough suspense already, how is the progress coming along?
Great build thread. I'm building my first rod, a '49 GMC Long Bed, so this budget build is inspiring. I'm planning on making my own bed wood with...
I personally like the shiny, primped rides, they're nice to look at. But that is as far as it goes. When I go to a car show, I go straight for the...
Sweet! Thanks guys. You've more than gotten my interest peaked on the bb. I don't have the rear yet, so I can definitely go with a beefier setup....
Good point on the T5, hadn't thought about that. Looks like I better start doing some scavenging for a th400...and a AT column...and a spacer for...
Thanks Squirrel. I'm counting on having to do some rebuilding on any engine I get. So that isn't so much a factor. How reliable are these...
Hello all. I've got a decision to make. While I like the reliability and the ease of finding parts for a 350, I would rather do something...
I've always been a fan of the VW bugs. This makes me want to tinker with one. I like where your going with this one. -Sneeky Pete
+1 more Tucson guy here. Swap meet this Sat 10/4? If so I'm goin'
Damn! I love the mercs especially 48-51. I hope to get my hands on one some day. I've been working on wearing down the wife-factor by saying...
This clearly won't be an easy choice. Lazy me says: Go w/ SMB 350! Adventurous me says: Diesel! I obviously have to do my home...
Thanks for the replies guys! I looked for a similar thread, I guess I just didn't look back far enough ;) Its just a thought at the moment, but...
I know it doesn't fit with a traditional build, but I've been looking at engines from the salvage yards and found a GM Military V8 Diesel. I'm...
Congrats on your degree. The build is turning out great. i just got my MII IFS kit today. I just need to get a hoist to get the engine out. This...
I just started working on a '49. This thread is perfect for me to follow. Couldn't have asked for a better manual. ;) So what were you able to...
I've got a '49 gmc and want to do the same, so if you get your answer elsewhere, please post it here. Thanks, Sneeky Pete
Here ya go, I couldn't match the lighting just right, but it should at least give you an idea.
'Tis geek-speak for SneekyPete! Thanks for the welcome!
