Restoration of my Chev
Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 5:47 am
Hi all its been a long time since i posted any pics of my truck, I have encountered many problems on the way as my truck has been sitting outside for a good few years. I am in the process of renewing as much as i can afford firstly, COMPLETE braking system, re wiring , new tyres, and much more.. even 850 mile round trip to collect drivers side door from near the German border. Lucky for me i brought 3 doors, visited Bastogne and General Pattons Grave.
this was my first time out of the hedge row
start to strip her down
a good shoot of the rear end
then i found out a wrong spring was added some time in her life as the axle was out of line, this damaged the spring and hanger. After trying to find replacement set i had to install Gmc front springs and repair the hanger.
Now finally the axle is back on and looking good
Now i can get on with installing the new brake lines which i'm making up myself, and i've been busy on the 270 gm engine to re install
Before
After
General Patton s Grave in Luxembourg
A view surrounding Bastogne
I stumbled across a monument just near a field,
This was used as an Field hospital in which nothing has changed and has n't been used to grow anything in since the war !!!
I hope you like the pictures.
Hope to keep the pictures coming
