The reason i will not start on my dime for a while...

1949 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton SWB
235 inline six cylinder
Hasnt been started since the early 90s, but shouldnt be an issue.
Very good body, minimal damage, can very easily be straight with a hammer and dolly, and a new passenger side lower rear fender patch.

Plans are:
S10 front spindles and rear end
Tubular controls arms
Plate front x-member (solid front axle trucks do not have x-members under the motor)
Did i mention pneumatic suspension?
Two link rear with panhard
Some frame plates to make it a complete box in some areas
Most of all getting it running
Im not really going to change its appearance any except new steelies and 1 inch white walls

Heres the pics, ill get more tomorrow. Jennifer took these with her fancy Nikon D90

Me lookin like WTF woman, lol?

You lucky bastard. Id love to have one of those trucks. Helluva lot cooler than a dime imo.

Hellz yeah that bitch will be badass.

i might go billet 20s if i can find the "right" wheel

hell yeah cant wait to see it

Well im soon to get my house completely re wired. Then ill by my 220v welder, and start the grounding process. I just hope it will pass AA specs.

It'll take alot of work for AA standards but I know your capable.

sweet truck man! my dad used to have a 50 model and i was always in love with it when i was younger and getting into trucks. cant wait to see whats in store for it and the progress ahead!

well then i might just have to hang out with the AA crowd everywhere i go, lol. I dont plan on it being bright and shiny for a while.

Nice! Deffinatley keep us updated on it!

my dream truck, congrats

The truck has been in my family since it was new. It only has about 40,000 miles on it. It was my grandpas truck. It was passed down to me before i knew what driving was, lol.

Anyway, an update... I pulled the spark plugs out, and the motor turns like it was new. YAY! Drained the oil, it was black as coal, but no sludge in the pan. So... im ordering a new 8 circuit wiring harness from ebay tonight. My buddy has a 4 speed that is a direct bolt on. SO hopefully i will get some good progress done soon. Just need to start making some money. I need a S10 blazer rear end, a new brake booster and master cylinder, new front brake assembly, some steel, a welder, and some air bag stuff. I wish i could say turkey drag. We'll see.

very nice, and im jealous lol. why an s10 blazer rear end? whats the difference from a reg s10 rearend?

Depending on the motor, the size of the housing lol. But mainly rear disk brakes.

Several new pics... You will notice that the floor is rotten, but luckily i have enough sheet metal to start replacing it. (still need a welder though, lol.) But ive just been cleaning it up. Im pondering on going a head and taking all the wiring out. Ive yet to get a new harness, the one i need is $189.






Hows this for a speedo needle?

hell ya! me and my bros have a 51 gmc 3 window that we tore apart back in the late 90s and barely did anything too and looking to get a shop to work on it, was gonna put a long bed s10 frame under it, but wanna get it back together more or less as of right now. it ran when we took it apart..
cant wait to see progress.

good start

damn right

hey he's got pics mark! lol looks good man, alot of work ahead but thats the fun part! no fun if someone does all the building for ya!

shut up
