Looking great!

What paint did you use on the chassis and components?

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Thanks man, its POR15 with the chassis coat as a top coat (for uv protection) ;)

Re: '49 chevy with s-10

I guess you'll have to rasie the front and drop the rear to drain your tank? Build is coming along nice.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

You know, i didnt even think about the drain on the tanks when i mounted them, just thought they looked cool there and gave me lots of room for exhaust. :lol: Thanks for pointing that out i will fix that little problem. ;)

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

I'll bet you could get it level just by messing with the air in your bags. Or you could do some welding and grinding and stuff and stuff. Your right it does look cool.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Rollinrooster , you have some serious skills my man :metal: This is an awesome build !!! Im curious as to the throttle and brake pedals and how they end up. I will patiently wait to see I guess :lol: Again, Awesome job :metal:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Rollinrooster,
Very nice and accurate install on those brake lines. They couldn't be mistaken for a novice install, that's for sure. Keep up the excellent work! Fab1

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Thanks alot, this is my first time doing a frame swap. As for the throttle / brakes im going to use lokar lakester gas and brake pedals and a scottshotrods 90 degree under dash brake set up. ;)

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

You know, that was my first time ever doing brake lines. A very good friend of mine ownes a hotrod shop (PrecisionRod and Custom). He let me borrow some brake line tools and gave me some advice to get started with. Youre not to far away in Kingsport, and are welcome to stop by anytime just pm me. ;)

Rollinrooster;
I just went through brakes in my class, part of it the students had to make brake lines. I had them do mine I only wish they had turned out as good as yours, you get and At in my book, excellent job.

Super sharp truck!!! If you would like to do some more brake lines I am about 30 miles away and I will bring it to you in a heartbeat. My method seems to be a big hammer and low IQ!

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Thanks for the kind words, i wish i had someone to do mine. :lol:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Got some front shocks on the cheap!! thanks to daverod. :metal: Just need to finish mounting them.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

rollinrooster, Chassis looks great. I am glad to see how someone is mounting there shocks when they are bagged. I figured it would look something like that. Keep up the great work.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Very nice.:metal: Did you see how the bottom of mine mounted? Kinda of a u shaped thing that the shock stud mounts into. Made it alittle easier to get in the right spot. Had to move mine a few times. I got them to fit without wheels spacers but I think I will buy some spacers anyways. Kinda depends on what wheels I get.:mm:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Yep, i looked at the way you set yours up and then decided to start on mine. I have spacers on the front of mine, so i have good clearance on everything. I'm still trying to figure out how i want the top mount to be. :uhmk:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Are the spacers 1". Where did you buy them? I think I'll get some.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Absolutely beautiful. Kudos on the super clean details. I've seen a lot of AD's on S10's and yours is one of the best I've ever seen. When viewed from the side the wheel base is perfect for the fender openings (rare on an AD/S10). Also, the wheels suit it perfect. Love it.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

the spacers are 1.5". I found them on ebay. :metal:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Are you running your air lines down the inside of your frame from your front?

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

Yeap. I'm just begining to start laying out the air ride. I'm going with accuair. :metal:

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
 

You'll love it. Best thing is it so easy. Remember to plug in one intake if you don't use it. Make sure your grounds are good.:mm: Did you get the switch too.
