Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
Well i got the guts, held my breath and went for it.
Got all the bed routered last night was easy, but took time because i measured like 1000 times . If you stuff wood up you can just cut it weld a new one in and smooth it.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
Hey, FAT56, from one aussie to another, thats gonna be one sweet ride. You may have to explain about engieers reports to these american boys though, don't think they have to do any of that.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
Thanks Heaps fellas..
Engieers reports are horrible, to get a modified car or truck registered here in Aus you have to have a qualified engineer to look over everything that is modified. welding,brakes,chassis structure, lights, brake test at a race track Everything. Then he will wright a report up to 10 pages long explaining what has been done to the truck and yes it is safe to be on the road. And they ARE TUFF, it has to be perfect to pass and they are NOT cheap at all. anyway to the good stuff. Mocked up some of the parts on my Mockup motor just to get some inspiration.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
Gotta love the US wild west, as long as the VIN matches the title mine is always a 59 Pickup. Regardless of engine it is exempt from emission tests. I would only need an inspection if I modified the frame where the VIN number is and in that case could use the second one on the frame under the cab.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
So i have been waiting since i bought the truck to see the chassis number once i took the cab off. I was told and it was sold to me as a 56 but by the looks of the chassis number its a 55. (can i change my user name now)
 hahaIf anyone can help me identify it that would be great Chassis number is 2550024365. Haha no worries at home, enter workshop at own risk. I wish i lived in america with what i have seen you can get anything on the road.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
This will tell you what you need. Its a 55 vin, could have been sold in 56 in a State that required the year of purchase to be on the title, or a hold over that had trim put on it (but the number look pretty low).

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
OHH OK its a 55
55 sounds better anyway its older. hahaThanks for the website. The truck never left California since it was built. Both owners were in the desert. So after stripping the frame down i decided since the budged has blown out alot i would just put two nights in and grind the frame clean and not get it soda blasted . Came out good, going to get some primer on it tomorrow. Oh and i fixed the clip ill have to get photos of it.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
G'day '56,
Great work on the frame mate. Looks fantastic. Huge job and I bet you ended up coming out looking worse than a chimney sweep from the old days of London! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)
Got some etch primer on the frame last night going to prime and block it down over the weekend and hopfully shoot the colour tuesday. Then the fun starts, i can put things back together for the last time.
I also found out what year my clip was, from the stampings on the upper and lower arms i had blasted, its a 76.   and this is what i ended up doing to the clip. put a sleave inside and drilled holes and welded it all up.
