Well, not sure what it's like where the rest of you are, but high today
of 28, low overnight about 12 here in Sparks, NV. Fortunately no snow.
With that I'm thinking that there's probably not a lot of work being
done with most of our trucks right now, at least not mine, so I'm trying to
put together thoughts on what I want to do and what it might cost.
Hoping to tap into the vast knowledge bank that IO know is out there
Particulars: 1950 Chevy, 3100, 5 window, 235 w/granny 4 speed, original
torque tube and rear end
Electronic ignition, front disc brakes, dual carbs, split exhaust,
Cab currently in primer with no bed, running 18 months ago when it got
stored.
So thoughts: Need to replace the radiator, it's been repaired twice,
and is leaking again.
Question: 2 or 3 core Aluminum or
????? Recommendations?
Thinking about pulling the rear cab fuel tank and
placing a new tank in the bed frame since there currently is no bed.
Again suggestions/ recommendations
Costs ??? Good idea / bad idea
With the gas tank gone from the cab, would want to
replace bench seat or re-mount it farther back.
More suggestions, type of seats? from
what car / truck, mounting ideas, guess on costs?
I'd be doing all the work with the help of a buddy, with limited access
to welding capabilities, so that might limit what I can ultimately do.
I'd appreciate everybodies thoughts, suggestions etc so I can start
planning for spring thaw.
Thanks
Ric
