1950 L132 on 2011 chassis build
1950 L132 long box came from Iowa
2011 ford 3/4 ton chassis came from Virginia
Build theme: fun, original exterior, safe, resale
Two trucks i picked up in Iowa off Ebay:
sourced a 2011 3/4 van chassis, 4.6 V8
stripped both
wheelbase lined up great within an inch or so
found a theme matching s10 seat and some new door skins/head liner off ebay. fire wall got modified for engine clearance.
super fun cruiser turned out awesome. lots of power and nice and tight!
lots of wiring, new glass, a fresh aluminum radiator, light work, bumber and side step fitment, rear hitch, etc. lots of work behind this quick summary but im very happy with the build! the 49 chevy got the same build treatment too as you can see in one of the pics. 49 4100 on 2008 3/4 GMC chassis.
1946 KS5 on 2014 Chevy 3500 Chassis (SOLD)
1952 3W Chevy on 2005 3/4 GMC chassis, 9' bed (current project)
