Ya know I've got to call it like I see it. And if it makes you feel any better mine is still sitting because of lack of funding. I think you did a great job on that thing.

That doesn't mean that you can leave the forum now that you're done with your build. With that said; what's the next project you have in mind.

Well I will say hello and tell you thank you for your build thread. Ive enjoyed looking and reading it. Now it will motivate me to get started on my 52 gmc 3 window shortbed project going on a 1989 GMC jimmy chassis. tryed to put a pic on here but havin problems attaching it. But again thank you for the very awesome job u did on yours.the thuck in my profile is a 52 GMC 5 window finished August 2009 after 2 yrs of building!

britnjc · 10-30-2010, 05:52 PM

Just a few pics I took today at a local spot that has an old gas pump. Enjoy

99 to Life · 10-31-2010, 12:20 AM

Really liking your rims and tires. Also the overall truck. I rarely see
any of these painted that I like, BUT this one is sweet.

nickp51chevy · 10-31-2010, 02:48 AM

Oh no; you said the 'F' word.

I helped one of my buddies with building up his '05 GT. He actually just got it back today. The engine blew up when he was racing me in my '88 1/2 ton. I won because I was able to drive away, and that was almost 2 years ago.

Any pictures of it? Make sure that you make a build thread in alternative tinkering

britnjc · 10-31-2010, 09:17 AM

I just added it to my signature, I have a thread started in AT just not as detailed.

Kabwe · 11-19-2010, 05:55 PM

The truck looks great and those are some very cool shots with the old school gas pump.

britnjc · 02-22-2011, 05:32 PM

So got some news about the truck. It has found a new home. I put it up for sale and had a taker today. On to new projects now. I felt kinda bad letter her go but you gotta do what you gotta do. It was a fun build though.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 03-31-2011, 11:52 PM

Good build man. I just bought a 50 chevy. I live in Birmingham. Any advice on anything before i get started? Anything you would have done different? I want to put an s10 frame under mine aswell but i think i wanna drop in a 350 instead. Oh and where did you snap the gas pump pics. loved the truck man!

britnjc · 04-03-2011, 08:17 AM

dont pay to much for an s10 frame> I did because i wanted a running s10. If i were to do again i would just get a frame and put a carbed 350 on it. The pics were taken in helena, close to the post office

Bishops Trucks · 04-03-2011, 08:44 AM

Turned out real good. You did good your first time out. Whats next?

britnjc · 04-03-2011, 09:20 PM

finishing my 65 stang in my signature

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-30-2011, 07:27 PM

Great build............. Kind of a bummer to see it go to a new home but ya cant keep them all.

47owner · 01-01-2012, 06:53 PM

I have a 3/4, 47 chevy, having a hell of a time trying to find a S10, reg cab, LB for a reasonable price. I was thinking, would the extended cab work on the 3/4 ton. Is the S10 frame the same only longer?

What the hell am I thinking, HAPPY YEAR.

47owner · 01-03-2012, 05:14 AM

Thanks, I will try and find one. I plan on using the 4.3L it comes with. This is my first build, I am a carpenter by trade. I have the wood skills just need to convert over to metal. I will post pictures of my project, hopefully it won"t be a total disaster.

bcubed · 03-26-2012, 02:14 PM

Some nice vehicles you have there, procrastination doesn't seem to be in your vocabulary with all the projects you have taken on, good luck.
