Anybody have pics of their 47-54 Chevy pickups?

I know some of you have trucks like mine and I am looking for ideas for my 51 Chevy truck .I am looking for a custom look, 6o's theme , shop truck anything ya got ! I am at a place where I need to make a decision on paint etc ...so I can make other decisions $$$$$. Anyway all help is very appreciated!!

 

Heres Mine Built In 23 Days For Viva Las Vegas 8 Was A Demolished Rollover When I Got It

 

Looks good and low ,I like the interior !

 

Here is a before and after shot. Have plans to do more but this is where we are at for now. Bought the truck for the wife and she had been working on it just as much as i have. New brakes, shocks, carb work, and spray painted in the driveway with paint from Wal Mart.

Thanks

 

The orange one I saw in Syracuse yesterday.

The yellow one belongs to a local guy, the frame was shortened 6 inches and rear fender widened 2 inches. You can see how short it is from the cab to the fender.

 

Heres my 52 GMC. Sorry if the pics are too big I don't know how to put the thumbnails in here.

 

heres another one i found of another arizona local guy i know from the CHEC'S car club, this things been in a few magz

 

Here is my parts hauler. 20 yarder...

 

Here's mine. (anyone want to trade me a 28-34 Hotrod for it?!)

 

Before:


Hey! Come back with that!


right now:


We have a front crossmember from a 74 Chevy truck that's going in next weekend. Anyone need the straight axle?

 

Here's one of BELLM's treasures:

 

I dig the stance, Grumpy! How did you do it?

 

mine is bagged with a 4 link in the rear and a camaro sub frame, i know you didnt ask me jeb,...lol.. but thought id throw my two cents in

 

Subframed with dropped coils, blocks in the rear with parrallel leafs and coilovers.

I've had 2 nailheads and a dynaflow in there with no effort. Or just look at all the bodies in there from a month ago!

 

Mine has a 78 Camaro clip done in the 90's , and aftermarket rear leaf kit. Has a bit of a rake ,not much. Thanks guys so far for all your pics!

 

As you can see. Not too many custom looking ones here.
I like the custom truck look. Here's mine I built 13 years ago.

 

....

 

Photoshopped.

 

Here's mine at the Stray Kat 500...

 

Murph's

 

Wow , so many ideas! I like the look of murphs truck and also Clark's 3 , several of the others have some aspect that might look good.

 

Hey Truckrodder, good luck with chosing a direction for your '50. Here's a few shameless photos (in better light than Paso) from a few angles.

Thanks murph ! What are those hubcaps off of?
These pics always give me a little boost to work on mine somemore.

 

Hubcaps are Oldsmobile - almost identical to '47-'52 Caddy sombreros.

Here's mine the cosmetic was done by a guy in Kansas, he was a good body man but not much of a mechanic. I've been going through all the drive train and suspension to make it road worthy, over the last couple of months. Getting closer all the time.

 

Wow, what a great view in the background! I was just up in Colorado a few months ago , my first time skiing ,in Leadville at Ski Cooper. My parents have a little cabin at Lake George area. Where abouts atre you?
As far as the truck I really dig the flames and what a chop!

 

Here is a shot from a Misfit out of Seattle...

 

HAH, I FIGURED yours was bagged, GRSMNKY. I'm going to use mine to haul motorcycles around, so that stance could come in handy when it's time to load em.

Grumpy, you got a lot of people in there, but it looks like the rear end is holding up. You should invest in some lawn chairs for the next car show, much more comfortable for your large family

 

Nice work all around. That extra grill bar makes a lot of difference if you're running without a front bumper. It completes the look.
