The Buddy Build - '48 Chevy
 

Hey All - I started this build almost 5 years ago for a buddy of mine. It was supposed to be a quick chassis swap onto an S10 frame and leave the body and interior alone...well, as you will see that plan radically changed over time!

It started out fairly stock (and rusty) with a later 235. Now it's running an S10 chassis, 4-wheel disc brakes, 350TBI, 700r4, A/C, etc. Raised the bed 2" and dropped extended the bedsides down. Fabbed a custom tunnel. It's basically new everywhere.

Now I'm at the point of finishing that long list of little things to get it on the road and to my buddy in Charlotte, NC.

Thanks. It is the 2nd row seat from a Dodge Durango. Fits good and the seats flip down and fold forward giving access to the area under the seat.
