Re: 1949 Chevy 3100 Build Thread

Thanks SKT. I finished my CFL sportster and tried to update the forum but it's down. It rides really nice and came out better than expected. Now that's it's done and I put a few miles on it and worked out a couple bugs, I can focus on the truck.

Today I welded in a weatherstrip Channel around the door, tacked up some boxing plates and welded over the battery access. I'm not sure where the battery is going yet but I know it's not going there! Getting ready to mock up my rear end.

Question for the guys that have done it before: is 116 wheel base correct? I remember guys saying 115 (bringing the rear forward 1") looks better in the rear fender. I'm not gonna order my bed from mar-k for another month or so. I would like to get started on the rear suspension without the bed.

Also here is a pic of my water pump. The outlet is very close to the radiator fan. I wonder if a radiator shop can change out the pipe? I suppose it's pressed in?
