Removing the CAB from the latest 1950 Chevy truck project

March 22, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

A little entertainment when we were using the heavy equipment to remove the CAB from the latest 1950 Chevy truck project.

Fresh 6.0 Aluminum and a Fresh 5.3 Arrived

March 16, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, 1957 GMC Project LS-Z57, Banner, LS Stuff

I have been on the hunt for two LS motors for my two truck projects. A friend swapped out his freshly built 5.3 for a 6.0 so when he offered the 5.3 for sale I bought it. This motor will be installed in the 1950 Five Window Chevy truck.

Another friend had a fresh LS2 6.0 aluminum and he was upgrading to a LS7 so when his motor became available I bought it to go in my 1957 GMC project.

We picked up a complete LS 5.3 and 4L60E trans from a GMC truck today, I have plans to freshen it up and put in the 1950 project but it may in up in the 57.

New 1950 Shop Truck Project

January 28, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We are planning our next build and it is looking like it will be an early 50’s pickup and we would like it to look very much like this fantastic looking 50’s Chevy 3100.

We came across a partially finished project that has some good bones and this may be the future project truck if it all works out.
