I drug home this 1949 Chevy 3800 this weekend. I picked it up for scrap prices so it was a steel(see what I did there).
I was on the hunt for a cab/front clip from this era and found a few but were way too expensive for the shape they were in.
This has a fuel tank from the era but not original to the truck. Dude wouldn’t sell me just the cab etc so I had to take the tank and chassis. No big deal because it’s given me some ideas now of what to do, maybe.
It was a challenge getting it onto my trailer but with the help of a tow truck and frozen ground we got her up there.
Barely fit on my 20’er and was Ass heavy. It floated quite a bit but it rode fine down the road. Luckily it was only about 20 miles away from the farm and many backroads to take at 30-40mph. Also helped with very little traffic on Super Bowl Sunday morning. Yes it’s a Ford but the second gen 6.7 diesel hauled this like nothing.
I have a 1951 GMC long bed I was working on years back that was in the middle of a s10 frame swap. Long story short all I have left is the rolling chassis and bed. So I was planning on robbing this cab and clip and making my ‘51 whole but now ideas have emerged and who knows what’ll happen....
