yeah, it took about a week to hammer out a deal on the truck. he told me if i wasnt interested, somebody else wanted it, the truck is a great start, but it will need to be dissassembled completely and alot of things have to be done differently to make it a safe ride..the rear end being the biggest problem , but i got that covered..

 

[junkmagnet]

well guys, im gonna attempt to put the vette rearend in the truck this weekend, will keep you posted.

Good luck junkmagnet. Post results.

 

[junkmagnet]

well i got it dissassembled for the rebuild, took a little longer than i antisipated. heres a few pictures of what im starting with, hated to take it this far down, but alot of the welds were really questionable, didnt wanna take the chance. alot of the rear geometry of the frame was off quite a bit(see the picture of the old backhalf) so i broke out the recipro say and went to work, i think in the end ill be alot happier, im gonna build the back half this week...keep ya posted...

I need some help, if someone knows where to find em. I need a set of rotors and calipers, would rather use salvage parts,kinda on a budget. I have a 39 front end any help would be greatly appreciated.....

got the new backhalf built, the vette rearend is gonna be sweet!!!!... will post pictures this weekend....remember what it looked like before.

Looks great! I love those big fat rear tires

 

[junkmagnet]

heres the new rearend, ready to attach and weld up solid. ill get some more pics sunday, im moving it from the barn to the garage...

 

[BruceR&C]

coming along nicely. building the new rear clip is probably the best way to go.

 

[junkmagnet]

its up on all fours again, and i think im gonna like the way it sets better. i was really worried it wouldnt go together, i built the backhalf at our shop in louisville and took it home and welded it together. i think it turned out ok. still have a few more braces to put in, it was a very productive weekend.

 

[junkmagnet]

you decide, which one looks better???

 

[gamracer3]

The Vette rear definitely looks so much better nice build

 

[old man dave]

Great build. I have a friend that used a c-4 front and rear in a 46 Chevy truck that will embaress most sports cars on a twisting mountain road. You will enjoy this.

 

[junkmagnet]

i kinda like it too!! thanks

 

[ANNAMEL]

Looks bad a@@. Wish i where there to sit and look at it with ya. That seems to be when i get most done. People aren't aware how much thought goes into these things.

 

[Gastrick]

Nice. The new rear looks good!

 

[BruceR&C]

The Vette rear is better by far. Nice work. Where's your shop in the Ville?

 

[junkmagnet]

Taylorsville rd and south english station rd. thanks for the comments, gonna try to set the motor this week to get pinion angle for the rearend so i can put the last support on the hoghead...
