1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
2 Attachment(s)
I bought this truck a few years ago and all that was salvageable was the cab. I originally chopped it and then it sat for another 2 years. Well I finally found a direction for it and this may be hard for some Original build guys to stomach!!! LOL
Take a look and tell me what you all think!! |

Definitely different. Looks like you are building a rat rod. I can appreciate the amount of work you have in it although I'm not into them. It's your truck so do what makes you happy.

It is got a cool look to it. i often wondered how one of these trucks would look with the windshield laid back.....now I know!!!

Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
Looks very cool. Definetly rat rod. You should post your build also on killbillet.com. Those guys what love to see your progress!

Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
Thanks guys!! I know everyone isn't into this kind of build, but its a little outside the box for some other sites as well!!!! I have been looking at all of the builds on this site for a long time and finally decided to post some pics hoping I wouldn't be a stepchild here as well!! LOL
I have it posted at KB and RRR! Some like it and some don't get it!! I'm one of those have to be different people! It's an affliction!!:smoke: |
Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
I am diggin it!
Love the mean look to it, keep up with the pics!!! |
Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
I think it is cool for what you are trying to accomplish. My $.02, it needs to be sectioned several inches all the way fro the firewall to through the bed-it looks a little "thick in the hips."

Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
It's yor truck , it's your money, screw the haters. Like the lean back look of the a-pillars and the slight widows peak at the windshield.

Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
i would like to know more about your front suspension setup.
|
Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
My opinion..... I think it could have been better if the cowling hadn't been stretched forward (although I'm sure you needed leg room), and that front suspension wasn't sticking way out in front. the rear suspension set up is pretty cool, though I'm not sold on the bed design. I'm not against rat rodding a trashed truck, I guess. The chop and laid back window are kinda cool.
I love the way these things look when they are slammed with no front fenders and hood, and no bed. They look like little pissed off race cars. In this case, it almost looks like too much effort was made to make the whole thing look "ratted and radical", chassis design wise. I'm not trying to hate, as I admire your hard work. I simply figured I'd jump off the edge and be the first to give a little criticism. |
Re: 1949 Chevy Truck "Don't Hate"!!
I am not going to hate one bit on it. Just glad you finally saw the light and brought it over. Its not normal to see an AD truck done like this and I like it. Dare to be different. btw the way I am on those other two sights but using a different screenname here since I am associated with F!@#s over there. lol.

All I was after was something totally different but not throwing crazy things on it like saw blades or and old amnure spreader!! LOL I'm not really after a rat rod or a vintage but more of something when looked at during a show for someone to say to themselves "How in the world did they come up with that?" LOL |
