Nice ride Reading this thread helps motivate me to get back working on my 35 tall cab.

 

Your truck looks great been workin on my 36 for 3 years was wondering what size tires and rims you used they look perfect.

 

Nice truck.I joined this forum when I saw what you were doing.
I'm just starting a build on my 36" and need the front fender supports. I'm trying to gather all my parts. It would be great if I could get the 37' door pillar and cowl metal also. Anybody got a few parts laying around?

 

How's the project going Skippy!

 

Hey man, interested in your engine for sale. It won't let me message you because you have too many saved messages. PM me your info and I will give you a call.

 

Did you own a 1954 station wagon that was sold in 2009 I think I may have purchased that car looking for some info would like to contact you email cravensd@twc.com

Love your truck! Any chance you have pictures of how you mounted the caravan seat to your riser. I am building a 38 Chevy pickup presently...where are you located in WA?

 

Great build! Just read your whole tread. I just started a 36 Chevy low cab build myself love these trucks. I'm using a slightly warmed over 250 I6, T5, S10 Blazer rear end. I plan to use a dropped straight axle. Just the inspiration I needed. What brake, clutch pedal assy. are you using?

 

I know this is a extremely old post. I'm looking for info on what's involved with modifying the floor board and firewall in a 36 chevy truck low cab. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Good morning. It has been a while since I did the modification but it was really just removing the old firewall, making and installing a new flat firewall, making a new floor that was flat all the way to the new firewall, making and installing closeouts for the trans. All of this was done with the cab off. I will send you a conversation to see if you have any additional questions.......

 

Hey I’m back. This is Skippycraig that built this truck. I have long since sold the truck but going thru my shed I realized I have a really nice top for the earlier 34-35 boxy trucks I would give anyone that can use it. Unfortunately I can’t get into the Skippycraig account so I’m Skippycraig1 now.

 

I see you have been away from here since 2015. Just FYI, There is a forum now called Pay it Forward or something like that where you could post about giving that roof away. Also, there is now an Off topic forum that will let later model stuff as well as independent front suspensions slide. I was surprised that no one called you out about that on your original build thread. That was a good looking truck btw.

 

I’m a lot older and wiser now, I think that since Chevrolets have factory parallel leaf springs the crowd gave me a pass on the Fatman crossmember. I’m building a model a coupe someone cut the roof off so I’m expecting some non fan mail but it’s a traditional build with wishbones and dropped axle so hope I’m ok. .

 

Hey buddy I’m back.
