Update for today, I got the new 3" drop leaf springs bolted on with 3" drop blocks . I also work on getting the 2" frame C notches installed . Let me tell you those where no fun . They will help with pulling a small camper later on . Next I installed the rear shocks and added the diff oil so I can roll the chassis around .














I hope you guys are enjoying my build . Thanks for checking it out .

Very nice truck coming along! I wouldn't even know the bed and cab weren't matched just looking at it.

Thanks John, and yes the bed size are from a 1950 Chevy . I cut 7" off the front and 5.5" off the rear . Used the 1946 fenders and put the 46 stake pocket on the front and rear . Over all wheelbase is cut down from 115" to 108"

Thanks man, it is just what is in my crazy mind . Hey I sell smoke must be over thinking it . LOL No really I have spent many nights awake thinking this one thru .

Todays update, I broke the vent tube in the rear axle trying to replace the old hose . So I had to get the old one out and replace it today . I also fixed a broken manifold stub today . It was a pain to get the old one out . I ended up drilling from the top and heating up the manifold 3 times . I did use to old wax trick to help . Last thing I did was pull the trans from the engine . I will take it in the next few day to be rebuilt .

Update , Shocks on the front and pretty much buttoned up other than installing the grease fittings in the tie rods .

700R4 trans is built and new convert is here . The brown color you see in the pic is a reflection from my orange shirt .

I got my engine out and up on the stand . It came from a low mile truck so I'm putting gaskets, water pump, timing gear set, freeze plugs and tuning it up . Don't think I will paint any of it . I'm just cleaning it all up and going to go with it .



I also pickup the A/C delete pulley .

Also update the parts list in the first post .
