Wife's '47 Chevy Truck Build

[FlatBroke]

Bruce,
That truck is going to be very smooth when you finish.

Keep those pics comming.

Thanks-- as much fun as it's been building this truck has been, I'll be glad to get it running & driving.


This set is the final steering rod setup,,,,,,

 

[BruceR&C]

Finally caught up to the present day.
The completion of brake plumbing & exhaust manifold mounting.

 

[BruceR&C]

Spent the better part of the day getting the fenerwells, radiator splash pan & trans cooler mounted.

 

[BruceR&C]

Paint for the Fender supports & the start of taillight brackets.

 

[BruceR&C]

Working on the left side taillight brackets. Decided to raise the taillights from just above the bumper to about 1/2 way up the tailgate.

 

[BruceR&C]

On to the right side,,,,,

 

[BruceR&C]

Peping the brackets for paint

 

[BruceR&C]

Getting the sidepipes mounting figured out.

 

[BruceR&C]

Painted brackets & mounted right sidepipe. May raise the mounting up about 1/2".

 

[Gastrick]

Good work Bruce and I think you are right to move the pipes up a bit.

 

[BruceR&C]

Didn't get as far as I planned tonite but got the pipes mounted and the R/F fender brace on,,,,,

 

[Tripper]

Sidepipes

I love sidepipes!!!

 

[BruceR&C]

I love sidepipes!!!

So do I. And I think mama's taken a liking to them.

Slowly plodding along towards it looking more like a truck,,,
getting the RF fender on. Had to do more work than planned,
almost forgot how they mounted.

 

[BruceR&C]

Really lookin' like a truck now. Got the left fender on and now for some wiring

 

[FlatBroke]

Truck is lookin good Bruce.
I'm diggin those sidepipes too.

Are you staying with the stock type wiring or are you going with a universal wiring kit?

If its the universal one, take good pics. I have to wire mine up soon.

I've got an EZ 21 ciruit harness for it. I'll be sure to take many pics as I wire it up. I'll also try to note the steps as I go in as much detail as I can. Hope that'll help.

Flat, I figured theis type pipe would look better than a standard style with the shield. And it looks like I was right. I think they look real good & so does mama. Just can't wait to get it on the ground to see how it looks then.
