1950 3600 bagged crusty cruiser - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CodyHicks · 01-18-2015, 09:49 AM

Traded a .22lr Henry Golden Boy for this '50 model 3600 flat bed and trailer made from a 47-49 short box, then scored a S-10 frame for $100 bucks. Only using the front clip and rear axel... Started the tear down a few weeks ago. Gonna build a 3/4 frame from 2x4req tubing, custom rear suspension, air ride, LS swap, new chrome, clean interior w/ A/C, 15" steelies and wide whites.

That's as far as I've made it on the tear down. Goin to set up my frame table and start laying out the the new frame and doing minimum rust repair on the cab corners and floor. Hammer out the majors dents in the sheet metal and call it good.

A. I think you made a fantastic trade.
B. What a great shop to work in. Looks like a heavy equip., semi-truck shop.
C. I'm a little jealous. Actually I think I'm turning a little green.

Good luck!

Extra toy storage

**Advanced Design** · 08-23-2015, 11:27 PM

Nice truck, maybe mine are torched close enough to the cab I can recut them and splice em together. Not real excited about my bed not being the same color either but it is what it is. May do a little body work and spray it all one flat color. Not sure yet.

lower50's · 08-24-2015, 08:36 AM

Really nice house. Now get to work! LOL

**oldman3** · 08-24-2015, 10:12 AM

Super nice place. Let's see, four up front of house, and two in the metal building. That's six, should be OK for a couple years

...Jim

CodyHicks · 08-25-2015, 12:34 AM

The shop will hold several. Just like to keep the finished stuff in the garage clean.
This just one end where I built my bathroom later.

Prison style... My wife didn't care for this setup lol

Gonna build some pallet magazine racks for my colletions of truck magazines and make the whole inside of the bathroom a magazine rack.
Spread out to do work

My floor when they are clean. Stained and sealed.

ChuckDriver · 08-25-2015, 07:45 AM

Wow, that's a dream garage!!

lower50's · 08-25-2015, 08:37 AM

Nice set up!!

**Advanced Design** · 08-25-2015, 06:03 PM

Very nice shop! Almost too nice to work in. Down your way ac would be a nice feature.
Your new place looks really nice Cody. Well done. Here is to many happy years there.

**oldman3** · 08-25-2015, 07:47 PM

Beautiful shop, should allow for a lot of nice work areas...Jim
