so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
some of you know I just painted most my truck and its assembly. A couple of you seemed interested to see it go together so I'll keep this updated as stuff happens. Start off with pics of where Im at now. Cab is sprayed in lizard skin and I started putting the brakes and clutch stuff under the dash. The frame is painted and started going back together. I got my dodge brakes mounted on my 12 bolt and thats in there. And the running boards were shot with sprayable seamsealer and blacked out.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
that core support looks different than mine, is it modified or aftermarket?
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
I made it. Its all 1x2x16 gauage. It drops the rad about 4 inches lower than stock. This is so I could cut down the factory hood panel and relax some of the angle in it so its much more sexier.
The fender supports are shortend as well, to work with the rad support. |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
I love the color man!

'61 Impala
thanks guys |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
Dito on the color combo, it looks awesome!:metal:Are you putting guages in the wheel? if not what are the holes for?
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
the holes are just orignally in the chrome piece. Nothing will go in them.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
are you going to install A/C? looks like it would be tight with the booster under the dash.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
probably not, but I could if I wanted.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
ran all the brake/clutch lines in the cab. they will be completely covered but I wanted them to look nice anyways.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
Hey Cajun...Looking great. I am guessing that you are going to be installing a console. I have been trying to figure out how to route the brake lines in dad truck. We are going to be installing AC in his truck and I was wondering how it would fit under there with the booster. Good luck and I can't wait to get there with his truck.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
Yup, small consol. I need one anyways for the shifter.
I dunno how a/c will fit, its going to be tight for sure. |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
I really like the color on your truck. Do you mind telling me what color it is and would you happen to have the paint code? Thanks in advance.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
it started as wrx impreza race car blue. I dont remember the paint code or anything. 63490 comes to mind though...can try that number at napa since its martin senior.
honestly I wouldnt use it though. It doesnt cover for anything and has over $800 in pearl per gallon. |

I really dont use the air in any of my dads cars when I cruise them. thats why i chose no air. I will probably add air later on though, no heater or defrost, just air.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
more line....been drilling and tapping holes like crazy. The airlines are basically done. The brake lines are 95%. The fuel lines are just started and run over the notch. Need to figure out how Im going to connect them to the tank and how I will finish them to the engine. the pics are confusing so bare with me.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
you mentioned that you put dodge brakes on the 12 bolt, what dodge has the correct bolt pattern. like the under dash brake setup and impala wheel. reall great looking project and keep the pic's coming.

I don't know if you can see this one but it is in a Speed 33 and has a brake/M/C AND A/C under the passenger side. |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
I should have an update wednesday. Im at school(LSU) right now but I go home for thanksgiving. Im planning to rip apart my t-56, cut it up, and when reassembled the shifter will be about 10" forward of where it is now.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
ok, this is freaky. you built the almost the exact truck i have been thinking up for my 49 forever. same color and everything. dont know what ls series motor that is, but i was gunna use an ls7, and same 6-speed tranny, bags and everything. weird....
love it though! looks awesome. u do really nice professional work. |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
but ive since decided to keep my rust, so you dont have to worry bout havin a clone lol.
|
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
lol, yeah weird.
Im currently waist deep in modding my t56 for center shift and it sucks. Very bad. And that is just a regular ls1, for now. But I thinking ~1.5 liters more displacement and twin hairdryers would make it move nicely. Not sure how crazy I want to go yet. either way for now its just an ls1, and I have a wild cam to put it in. |
Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
WOW, that is some nice work you have goin on there, talk about having to run some lines that is do darn tedious, great job

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
gettin back to work.
bolted the IAT in the air filter and it hit the TPS, so I worked on that tonight. how it looked... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2267.jpg inside view which raises the concern I had of drilling through that lip and not having the bit walk. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2268.jpg in the drill press.. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2269.jpg shot of the hole and the bit I used.. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2270.jpg back cut the lip... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2271.jpg tapped http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2272.jpg assembled http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2273.jpg IAT and new blue plug... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...r/IMG_2274.jpg |
