When I first got this project I had noticed the drive shaft was partially cut through so I wanted to keep it semi original I found a 1950 Chevy Chassis with rear end motor and transmission to use. Since one of the Cross members was butchered pretty well I decided to use the 1950 Chevy Chassis also. Everything to me looked pretty much the same from one chassis to the other. After cleaning the chassis scraping wire Wheeling power washing priming and then finally painting I was ready to work on the rear end. I used Rust-Oleum super primer and protective enamel on the chassis 1 quart of each was just fine . Then I found out it had Huck brakes. Everything I read about Huck brakes said you had to realign the shoes but I found new shoes at O'Reilly's for $36. So to recap I am now putting a 52 g m c onto a 1950 Chevy chassis and rear end still using the 52 front end
