Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Coach, What happened between 3/20 and yesterday that you picked up and moved a significant distance across country?
Truck is looking so good. Tell us about the punchlist items you still need to do? |
Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Patina on that truck is spot on! Is that natural?

I would have hated to leave that beautiful shop you built. Are you going to build a new on?

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Congrats on the move. It looks beautiful there.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Almost spring in Northern Idaho.....getting anxious to get Henry out to be a daily driver.
https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Hen...1_200929-L.jpg Still have punch list stuff to take care of, but since he is driveable, it is tough to buckle down and do it. Slowly getting my new garage organized. Lost a bunch of space from my garage in NoDak. That is probably the only negative of the move. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Hen...544682_o-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Hen...7_144507-L.jpg Hot Rod scene is great out here. Weekly cruise in's and shows. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Hen...DSC_0045-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Hen...1636_205-L.jpg |

I love our new neighborhood. The guy building the truck below lives the next street over, I could hit his house with a baseball from my patio.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
looks like a "descent" neighborhood

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Very nice!! I might steal your over the bed shelf idea (slick). Does your truck sit on bump stops or on the ground?
|
Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
New garage looks cool, even if it's smaller. Have you decided on a wheel change?

No, cannot decide what I want to do. Change the color, or caps......or just clean them up and run them. |
Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Nice touch on the garage, I've been thinking of doing something similar. I used to live in PF and Hayden, but Boise, now. Great place to live! I want to finish my projects and take them to CarDLane some day. Maybe next year...

If you’re determined to make a change may I suggest you paint the wheel either the same body color blue, OR a very rich cream bordering on a faint yellow but NOT yellow. Then I’d suggest installing clips and using ‘51-‘52 cap caps. I had them on my old ‘46 and always got a lot of compliments on them. Hope all is well up in the hinterlands of Idaho!;) |

I don't, but certainly will this summer when things get rolling. I was stunned to see another 3600 so similar to mine. Not common. A pic from the day she rolled onto the trailer from a 34 year slumber ........
