PROJECT: 1950 Chevy 3/4T 4x4... new member - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

N2BOOST · 08-08-2010, 12:14 AM

Thank you very much Joe!!! I really did not plan on trying so hard to straighten everything, but when I got started on it I decided to give it the best I can and if it isn't perfect then at least I can say I tried.

Thank you guys for the support!!

P.S.... I already decided the next phase will be 4 linking the rear and maybe the front, then possibly put twin turbos on it. If I decide to do that I will place the turbos in the fenders basically behind the headlights then plumbing the exhaust back in toward the frame and firewall, BUT that's a long ways away!

N2BOOST · 08-14-2010, 07:43 PM

Went shopping today at LMC! For once I have a project that I can get parts locally! Got all new weatherstripping and window seals for the entire truck, new windshields, new rear sliding window, glove box, splash panels between running boards and bed, S.S. locking gas cap and some other things. Bodywork is almost completed on everything except the hood, cab and chassis!

vk_chevy · 09-29-2010, 02:16 AM

looking forward to see more progress pics

propanemudtruck · 09-29-2010, 12:07 PM

Do you still plan on hauling a gooseneck with it when you're done? That would officially be the coolest hauler I've ever seen!

N2BOOST · 09-29-2010, 09:24 PM

Sorry I have no updates. I lost my job and started a new one so I had to fix up a car to drive since my old job supplied me a vehicle. I am almost done with sanding the hood, then I'll get the chassis and cab blasted. Hope to be back on it in 2-3 weeks.

As for the gooseneck.. yes I plan on leaving it in!!

Thanks for looking guys!

Awesome project. Can't wait to see more!

OZman · 10-25-2010, 05:05 AM

im not too far from you, just down 68 highway. do you happen to have the front hubcaps that were on the truck still? i might be interested if you want to get rid of them.

N2BOOST · 10-25-2010, 07:53 PM

My mom lives in Ottawa! I am planning on switchig whels and tires but I think the guy I bought the truck from wants any part back that I dont use since he has 3-4 more of these trucks. I will et you know if I can get rid of them.

Thanks

BTW the hood is almost finalized in primer. I'm hoping to get the chassis/cab sand blasted within 2 weeks.

1BadSS · 10-25-2010, 09:10 PM

You sold the Eclipse didn't you?

N2BOOST · 10-25-2010, 09:38 PM

Yes I did. I miss it, but I bought a 1995 fwd auto turbo talon that I'm planning on daily driving and running low 10's. There are more race classes for the front wheel drives and yet the mitsu/eagle is the only in the class with auto trans!

alright, well it sounds like he has alot of trucks, so if you have and can get rid of or if he has and wants to get rid of a whole set of hubcabs 3/4 4x4, id appreciate it if you could find out, they go for ridiculous prices online.

N2BOOST · 11-03-2010, 01:24 AM

I definately will lyk if he wants to get rid of any caps.

UPDATE!

Got a edelbrock rpm intake, MSD billet HEI distributor, Holley 850 carb and a Holley elec fuel pump tonight for $350! They only have around 600 miles on them!!!

Also got the hood ready to wet sand and do a final expoy sealer coat. I'm scheduled to get the chassis/cab blasted this weekend or next depending on his sand shipment.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-02-2010, 03:57 PM

Having any luck with this project?

N2BOOST · 12-02-2010, 05:29 PM

Still havent blasted the cab and chassis. I dont have a place to put it inside right now and it wont fit in my garage.

N2BOOST · 01-01-2011, 12:55 AM

Finally got a furnace in the shop and got the ball rolling again. I am suppose to paint the bed, fenders and hood in a few weeks and today I got the cab completely stripped and ready to be sand blasted hopefully this week pending weather. Not going as fast as I originally planned but rather take a step back and keep doing things the right way.

N2BOOST · 01-04-2011, 12:18 AM

Finished stripping the cab Sunday then dropped the truck off to have the cab and chassis sand blasted. Got a call today and it was done. They did areally good job and since the body sits high they were able to blast the underside of the cab really good.

Thank you! Yeah the guy I bought it from put it together in 1978 and it's kind of a legend around my town.

N2BOOST · 01-07-2011, 02:26 PM

Got the epoxy primer on the cab to protect it from rusting while doing the bodywork and got the "Chassis Saver" epoxy coating on the chassis last night. Also, got a call and the upholstery shop already got the seat done so I took a road trip last night and picked it up. Heading to LMC tonight to get a few patch panels to weld inside the cab. I will try to post a few pics tonight.

1BadSS · 01-07-2011, 10:20 PM

You drove the Evo up to LMC didn't you?

N2BOOST · 01-07-2011, 11:59 PM

Yes I did!

1BadSS · 01-08-2011, 12:02 AM

I walked in shortly after you and picked up a bedside.

N2BOOST · 01-08-2011, 12:09 AM

Ah yeah I remember seeing you sit down next to me! Ha ha thats funny! Do you have a link to your project?
