Great work. I really like the beading you did. Makes it look more "stock."

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

Once again, looks great! What size step dies are you using for these panels?

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

Can you show some close ups of your bead roller. What brand is it?

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

Wondering if you have seen others that have put 4L60E's in and if they all require a transmission hump like your constructing? Was hoping with the 60 I wouldnt need one, but maybe its the S-10 frame as to why yours would need it?

I'm using a stock frame with 6.0L and 4L60E. Dont have the tranny yet and have not mounted the engine.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

Kabwe, Thank you.

Fat Mike, Yes, I can get you some pictures of my bead roller. I work in a machine shop so I just made my own. It is a great little perk. Gears were bought locally, the spockets and chain were bought from McMaster/Carr and the power unit is a reworked 120 volt winch from HF. The rest was made at work. It also has bronze bushings. Sometime I want to make another one with more throat and a adjustable top shaft.

duwem, I do not know about the tranny hump. I am thinking that is is probably because of it being on a S10 frame. The truck is a buddy of mines and he mounted the engine. It has I think a camaro pan so he could get it down in the frame and it is really close to the front crossmember. So it could not be mounted any lower. The 1954 I built for someone was on a S10 frame too and it had a 700R4 in it and it need a tunnel. They both have the same cab mounts because I made and mounted both of them. It has to be a s10 thing.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

reaper71, You need to post some pictures when you are done. You know how we all are about pictures. Start to cut out everything on that truck of yours and you can do the same. HAHA My buddy keeps telling me that when I work on mine next week that I will be cutting out the floor and firewall to do them in panels. If they were in bad shape I would do it in a heart beat but they are all ready redone. Just about 10 years ago and never seen the road. It is bad enough that I will be redoing some of the things that I all ready did. I just do things different and I lot better now. Stay tuned for the panel build maybe the end of this week.

Fat Mike, Here are some pictures of my bead roller. If you need any more just let me know and if you need any info.

I have 2 questions
what motor did you use and what gear ratio are the sprockets?

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

mknittle, it is Harbor Freights 110 volt electric winch and I will check tonight on the # of teeth on the sprockets. It comes out to I think about 24 inches a minute in the speed with the winch motor and the sprockets. It is very powerfull. It will do a complete AD beltline profile in one shot.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

mknittle, The winch motor turns at 20 RPM , the sprocket on the motor is a 12 tooth and then the upper sprocket is a 80 tooth. With the diameter of my dies it comes to 24 inches per minute. Which is nice and slow so you can follow your lines.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

So, so nice and clean buddy! Great job on the booster recess. Will you be putting in much bracing to stop the firewall flexing? Will you be doing the pedal box mounting or is that for the owner to do? I bet your hanging to get into the panel!!

Regards,
Trently.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10

reaper71, I know how that is to get to work on your own truck.

AUSSIE54, Thank you. Yes it will get braced up. I am also going to put tube across the cab under the dash also for the stearing column. But yes I will have to do something so it does not push on the firewall. I will tie it all together. Yes it is going to get moved in real soon (my panel) for my working holiday vacation.
