The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre 1941 Chevy - Kentucky.

Hello to one and all, my name is Brant Isaacs. I am 35 years old and I am married with one daughter. I have just started my journey building a 1941 Chevy pickup. Now for the story behind the truck. My dad owned a 1941 pickup that I drove the day that I got married. Dad passed away last year and he wanted my nephew to have the 41 because he is the only grandson and the truck came from that side of the family. So begins my journey. After a long talk the the banker aka "the wife" i got a 40k budget and I started looking for a truck. I found a complete candidate with a title in Montanna. It took me 6 months to get the truck home to Kentucky. When the truck arrived it had a bicentennial license plate and was last licensed in 1979. Well, I just happen to be a 1976 model and my wife was born in 1979. This truck was meant to be found by us. So far I have built a 383 stroker and updated the tired suspension with a tci mustang 2 air bagged front end with a tci air bagged 4 link rear. Next step is to shave all the body lines and reverse the hood. I will get some Picts of the build posted when I get my garage cleaned up a little.

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Good luck. We're here to help.

Welcome Brant and does the Banker have any sisters? Just sayin... Look forward to the pictures.

Lol!!! @ gman. She actually has two sisters. One is married to my brother "seriously she is" and the other one is still in high school. I am pretty lucky she lets me do almost anything I want as long as it don't mess with what she wants.

Here is a pict of my project when I pulled it in the garage. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac157/carhauler89/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_8108.jpg

Nice start it's way more complete than what I started with. Looks like it has a later box on it or at least rear fenders. Is that a 40 Chevy grill on the wall?

The box is a 41 but somebody at some point put fenders from a 47+ model on it. They actually don't look to bad but the axle is not centered in them at all. That grille is from a 41 Chevy car. Dad picked it up at a swap meet somewhere just because of the year. I have found all kinds of different hood ornaments for 41 vehicles laying around in both garages. Seems like he had a thing for 1941??? I almost wish I could have found just a cab and frame to start with because that's probably about all I will end up using. I really hate to street rod this one but I'm going to. Lol!! Here is a pict of my s-10 and dads 41. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac157/carhauler89/Snapbucket/48C0C7C7.jpg
