Engine and Trans mocked up in Project 50 Five Window

April 20, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We finally got back to work on the truck tonight, managed to get the LS engine and 4L60E transmission mocked up on the chassis. Tomorrow’s project is doing some measuring and adjusting on the LS engine plates, I think it is too far forward.

Project 5 Window Body Update

April 7, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We just got the body back from media blasting and to our surprise it looks pretty good. We need to replace some cab corners and fix a few dings but the rest looks nice. After a few hours of blowing sand out of the cab we got it in Epoxy Primer.

Project 5 Window Chassis Update

April 7, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We made some nice progress on the chassis of the 1950 Chevy five window truck. We cleaned up and reinforced a bunch of the welds and we converted the Heidts front end to tubular control arms. We blasted everything, painted and now are back to rolling chassis status.
