1950 Chevy 1300 5-window"HiPo Project in Canada"
Hi Everyone!
I’m brand new to participating on the forums. We are from Saskatchewan Canada.
The truck I am rebuilding to a driving truck not a show truck was bought brand new by my wife’s great uncle in 1950. In 1973 her Dad purchased it and drove it until 1976. From that point on, it slowly sank into the earth when I hauled it home in 2013.
The truck remained put until Dec 2021 when I decided to tackle it. A lot bigger project than I counted on and since it is not a show truck don’t critique me to harshly. Not everything is or is going to be perfect.
We are mounting it on a 2000 Jimmy 4x4 which I don’t recommend doing a 4x4. We extended the frame to match the 1950 and since the floor boards were rusted out of the 1950, we married the Jimmy floor boards into the '50 cab. All impressions for transmission, shift consul, pedals and seats were already there so no fabricating for any of that stuff.
I kept the 4.3 liter engine and automatic transmission. I have hours and hours of work I could talk about this build but I’m sure everyone on here has been through it.
I’m open to suggestions and questions.
The pictures I will attach are random points in the build which isn’t done yet.
