Hi here's my 49 Chevy 3600 4x4 Napco. It started out as a 3100, when I got it the motor and transmission were gone. It needed some serious updating. I decided to do a frame swap and began searching for a S10. A friend came across a rolled over 2000 S10 with the ZR2 package and only 18,000 miles at an auction. I quickly searched online for someone that had done the swap. None could be found. I kept seeing refferences to why it wouldn't work, but my tape measure was telling me different. So I decided to go for it. Three hours later I owned a low milage donner chasis with running gear. It took a winter to figure it out, and the next winter to put it together. This is my first build. I set it up to look like what a Napco conversion would have looked like in 1949. Painted it to look farm fresh with just a little dust. It has a stock 4.3, automatic and gets about 20 mpg. My grandkids love it! I'll contiume to work on it this winter. The picture gives you my youngest grandsons impression of his first ride. I feel the same way inside!
