Re: 49 Chevy Power Wagon 3/4ton hauler build

Update time!


I figured out the Dana 60 might have issues. It does have a limited slip though. Im happy about that.

I also got the truck started

two weekends ago I got some major work done! My cousin came up to help and we finished my exhaust. We did a stock crossover, cut the cat off, added a 3" v-band and then a 3" glasspack into a 3" magnaflow and turned down after the cab.

We wired up the battery and put some gauges in so we had water temp and oil pressure.

Then we went for a drive!

Overall the drive went really well. We went a couple of miles and no issues on the road. The truck does overheat at idle with the way the pusher fan is currently mounted. I don't want to drive it too much more until I dive into the dana 60. some bolts in the front fenders also vibrated off and we almost lost the passenger fender.
