47-55.1 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skymangs · 08-15-2021, 11:53 PM

This one comes to us from Chattinuga Tennessee. It’s a 52 3600 which we are converting to a shortbed. The owner wants the Ole Sarge touch. We’ll be painting it patina'd Robbins Egg Blue with a darker matte blue interior. We will be doing AC, full interior, stereo, 5.3/4L60E, S10 frame, a Nova rear end, custom gauges, column, and a Custom steering wheel

skymangs · 08-15-2021, 11:56 PM

We won’t be starting the project for at least two weeks

skymangs · 08-16-2021, 12:02 AM

The owner wants a primo job, so we’ll be taking our time on this one, and here’s a link to the video of us unloading it https://www.facebook.com/10635701173...51047129662999

pics of the frame that’s going under Woody's truck

skymangs · 08-16-2021, 11:19 PM

Think one came with tons of parts!

skymangs · 08-16-2021, 11:22 PM

More

skymangs · 08-17-2021, 11:07 AM

Looking forward to this project.

skymangs · 09-03-2021, 11:18 PM

,Man what a fight! Every bolt is near impossible! We’ve had to cut well more than half the bolts!
But the cab is about ready to come off.

skymangs · 09-09-2021, 08:49 PM

the cab is off, on a dolly and ready to bigin stripping tomorrow.

skymangs · 09-10-2021, 08:43 PM

Today we stripped the interior and firewall, Monday will be the dash.
We did get the heater and column out though
Firewall is stripped and ready for the holes to be welded

**oldman3** · 09-29-2021, 02:50 PM

Chris, I'm not the owner, but I like the eyebrows also...Jim

skymangs · 09-29-2021, 06:50 PM

the owner gave the go ahead on the eyebrows, so today we welded them in. Updates later.

skymangs · 09-29-2021, 10:32 PM

We welded the eyebrows on today. The beadroll on the passenger one was off, so we flattened it and started over. We actually spent quite a bit of time just staring at it, making minuscule adjustments to make it perfect before we welded it.

skymangs · 09-29-2021, 10:35 PM

Then we figured we’re better mock up the AC and do the welding before we do any filling! What you see is not your Vintage Air, it’s my mock up case (a case with no guts for making your brackets and making sure things fit)
Tomorrow we hope to get the column in and brake booster.
We’re hoping to get the interior in primer next week.

skymangs · 10-01-2021, 10:44 AM

Started out by cutting that tab off the pedal assembly
Then we mocked up the column and fabbed up the brackets, tacking everything in
Tomorrow we’ll seam weld, then the column goes back in the box until after paint

6DoF · 10-04-2021, 08:01 AM

the gauge brow is a great touch

skymangs · 10-04-2021, 08:44 AM

Thanks

skymangs · 10-05-2021, 09:10 PM

did some work on the dash today. That’s the first coat of filler sanded down
and the second coat applied

skymangs · 10-07-2021, 09:01 AM

Today we sanded the second coat of filler
And applied the 3rd (and I believe final coat)
We modified the master cylinder setup
Deleting the ABS
we also pulled the pins for the gas tank straps, and removed them

skymangs · 10-07-2021, 09:03 AM

so we decided to fill the gas fill hole

skymangs · 10-07-2021, 09:05 AM

Then we decided to tackle smoothing the firewall
After straightening some metal I think it came out pretty good!

6DoF · 10-11-2021, 07:57 AM

wow ... i don't think that panel is supposed to look like butt cheeks ...

good luck!
