Re: 47 Step van

I just think I might have seen a frame of one of those. Bad thing is I only have 3 pictures of the rear suspension. I will post later.

Re: 47 Step van

Seems like forever since I last posted. So here are some pictures of the frame. It is a 1947 frame with 1987 1/2 ton suspension. The front is bagged and the rear is leaf springs with bags as helpers because this will be a work truck. The motor is a 305 vortec with a 700r4 for the tranny. I can not wait to see it with the body on it to see the way it will set. I will be a neat truck when up and running.

Re: 47 Step van

Ken put the cab back on the frame this weekend. So I could not wait for you guys to see what the truck looks like. He said it sets about 11 inches off the ground. Looks low for how big it is. Remember this will be a work truck so laying on the ground was out of the question.
