Thread: Starting on the 39 Chevy Truck

Tweet

Chevy 37, and Steve
It's been way too long, and I have many things going on but I figured what the heck. The wife is pretty willing to pitch in also. I'm going to put a few more pictures on to show what the mice will do.

I'm hoping to put it on an S 10 or try to follow what Don did with building the frame. The truck was really in good shape when I bought it but that sitting will take a toll. I don't think the term Rat Rod was around when I bought it. So my plans were to make a Street Rod Truck, later model pickup bed but now times have changed so it may just be a rat rod, it sure smells like one. I tried to clean it out the best I could today, sprayed the hinges and the doors shut good as does the hood. I even cranked the window out but broke the knob on the crank.

I'm going to try to figure out how to remove the cab from the frame, leave the drive train, maybe sell it or with the high price of junk today that might be the way to go.
