Hi I just brought home a sweet 1950 Chevy 1314(Canadian model 3100)
All original and mostly complete. Has not been on the road since 1965! Has plates on it from '65 and I found all kinds of stuff in it.
The 216 is stuck and most of the suspension and steering and wiring is pretty shot but i have a pretty solid truck. Floors are great and the only rot is the cab corners.
I've had a thing for the 47-54 Chevys for a long time and this one just grabbed my eye and i had to have it. I would like to turn it into a driver and am leaning towards a possible S10 frame swap and small block Chevy. I love the body as is and am not going to do any body work. I want to do a period correct hot rod. 283 with a turbo 350 would be great. Lower the truck so she sits nice but not dragging on the pavement. Hope to get a bunch of help from you guys as I love automotive forums. I've built some Mustangs and recently brought back a 1976 F250 4x4 back from the dead.
Original Alberta truck. Used as a farm truck near Dog Pound, Alberta.
