1948 Chevy Project

[tylordurben]

some of you may remember my build of a 1950 GMC:

currently a new client dropped off his 48 project truck in hopes to pick it up as a driver. unfortunately some of the work has already been done and will need revisiting, however it is in my eyes a good start. the old cab and sheetmetal will sit atop a S-10/Blazer frame. plans are to mimic the same "look" as the 50 GMC, full air-ride suspension, 350 motor, auto trans, power disc brakes, power steering all the modern goodies, however retaining the look and feel of the old truck. follow along if you like for i will update as this project moves forward step by step.
