I have a 1952 Chevy 3600 (hence the name) and am in the process of just trying to get it up and going. It's solid for the most part, but am replacing the lower cowls on both side. It has a 283 with a 4spd in iy, and no bed! So I will most likely be making my own. So we shall see.

And Dave, where about in Chicago are you from? I'm actually from the western suburbs, but nobody outside of Illinois knows where Woodridge is, so I say Chicago.

I just did all that cowl related replacement; inners, middles, outers, etc on
my 51. Plus toe board, floors, It was a mess, but got thru it finally!
I'm in the far western (Fox Valley) burbs.
Have fun
