Fortunately no snow. With that I'm thinking that there's probably not a lot of work being done with most of our trucks right now, at least not mine, so I'm trying to put together thoughts on what I want to do and what it might cost. Hoping to tap into the vast knowledge bank that IO know is out there Particulars: 1950 Chevy, 3100, 5 window, 235 w/granny 4 speed, original torque tube and rear end Electronic ignition, front disc brakes, dual carbs, split exhaust, Cab currently in primer with no bed, running 18 months ago when it got stored. So thoughts: Need to replace the radiator, it's been repaired twice, and is leaking again. Question: 2 or 3 core Aluminum or ????? Recommendations? Thinking about pulling the rear cab fuel tank and placing a new tank in the bed frame since there currently is no bed. Again suggestions/ recommendations Costs ??? Good idea / bad idea With the gas tank gone from the cab, would want to replace bench seat or re-mount it farther back. More suggestions, type of seats? from what car / truck, mounting ideas, guess on costs? I'd be doing all the work with the help of a buddy, with limited access to welding capabilities, so that might limit what I can ultimately do. I'd appreciate everybodies thoughts, suggestions etc so I can start planning for spring thaw.

I've been on shop-talk for years... guess I need to get out more, eh ? Saw Ric's post on his Chevy truck and planned changes and thought I might add something for him.. I've got a '53 Ford F-100 I've been working on for years and done a lot of the upgrades that most old truck guys do... new ifs, new rear end, disc brakes, tank move, etc and have tried to document it all on my site jniolon.classicpickup.com All the articles are in the frame on the left side of the page Ric AFA the tank move to the rear... it's an easy task. I'm not sure of your frame width but the f-100 of that era have around 28.5 width and a mid 60's mustang/cougar tank fits perfect... as well as some other junk yard finds. You'll have to fab or buy a patch panel for the old gas filler hole in the cab... but if Chevys are like Fords those are available aftermarket.... here's a link to what I did... jniolon.classicpickup.com/mustangtank/newmustangtank.htm AFA the seats.. I'm assuming you've got around 60" between doors and most any bench seat from any Chevy or Ford trucks till they went and got all fancy will fit... I've got a bench from a mid 70's Chevy truck now but am looking for some nice leather takeouts with seatbelts and all included. Keep in mind that car seats don't usually work well... they sit too low and lean back too far... truck seats are more verticle... mounting isn't usually a problem with a little fab work and some tubing.. again a link jniolon.classicpickup.com/benchseats/benchseats.html What you do all depends on what you want from the truck... original ?? or streeted ??? a lot.. I mean A LOT of after market stuff is available for your truck... don't know if you've found the magazines...

I get teh digest version but you should be able to see my email-email me and I will send you my phone number. call me and I will talk your ear off. oh-qualifications? built too many of this body style to count in every configuration you can think of. also have 30+ AD trucks in my stash... and panels and suburbans...

I've been on shop-talk for years... guess I need to get out more, eh ? Saw Ric's post on his Chevy truck and planned changes and thought I might add something for him.. I've got a '53 Ford F-100 I've been working on for years and done a lot of the upgrades that most old truck guys do... new ifs, new rear end, disc brakes, tank move, etc and have tried to document it all on my site jniolon.classicpickup.com All the articles are in the frame on the left side of the page Ric AFA the tank move to the rear... it's an easy task. I'm not sure of your frame width but the f-100 of that era have around 28.5 width and a mid 60's mustang/cougar tank fits perfect... as well as some other junk yard finds. You'll have to fab or buy a patch panel for the old gas filler hole in the cab... but if Chevys are like Fords those are available aftermarket.... here's a link to what I did... jniolon.classicpickup.com/mustangtank/newmustangtank.htm AFA the seats.. I'm assuming you've got around 60" between doors and most any bench seat from any Chevy or Ford trucks till they went and got all fancy will fit... I've got a bench from a mid 70's Chevy truck now but am looking for some nice leather takeouts with seatbelts and all included. Keep in mind that car seats don't usually work well... they sit too low and lean back too far... truck seats are more verticle... mounting isn't usually a problem with a little fab work and some tubing.. again a link jniolon.classicpickup.com/benchseats/benchseats.html What you do all depends on what you want from the truck... original ?? or streeted ??? a lot.. I mean A LOT of after market stuff is available for your truck... don't know if you've found the magazines...

I ended up rebuilding a 1962 235 car engine. That was about 2006. I have to say that, despite kicking myself for being too lazy to drive 50miles to pick up the engine, my 235 is AWESOME. Strong and dependable. What an amazing industrial machine. I really think the 6cyl gas engines of its generation were beautiful and historic and I'm proud to drive around with it. Next truck I will try and utilize a 261 but if anyone ever tries to get my 235 they are going to have to pry it out of my cold dead claws!
