Hello. My name is Shelby Terry, but If you wanna be my friend you have to call me Nighthawk! :P

I am currently a student at Texas State Technical College. I am getting a degree in Automotive Tech.

This past week I traded a old project, a 1977 Chevy Caprice Landau coupe, for this 1949 5 window.

It is currently sitting on a 91 S10 Chassis and powertrain.
It's got a little rust, but isn't too bad in all honesty.

My first goal is to get the cab and bed properly mounted on the chassis.

I look forward to seeing the builds here, getting inspiration and learning more about these trucks.

Welcome to the Stovebolt madness. There is no cure! Your project easily falls into our HiPo Forum. That’s where the hotrodders among us hang out. Read through the various forums and make sure to post any questions you have in the appropriate forum.

Thanks for the welcome.
It's not too much worse than my last project was when I got it.
I'm eager to get cracking on it a bit more. I've got big aspirations for this truck.
