Nice! We need more AD Chevys around here. I have a swap thread on my 1950 5 window but its actually more of a frame off complete rebuild. I have a full build thread on a different board. If you want some tips on what not to do I'll share all my screw ups.
like to see it
need to do a few things
add seat belts, wiper motor, and change out rear gas tank
(one in trunk is too small)
where is build thread
steve
added more pictures of truck
plan is to add
vintage air
electric delay wipers
seat belts
change out gas tank
then it will be a daily driver
as for the fleetline
progress very slow, waiting on floor pan
and wheel tubes to be put in by body shop
than I will temporally mate with chassis to install exhaust,
gas lines, emergency brake cable and anything else that
requires a trial fit.
if anyone thinks of something i have not mentioned
feel free to add
S.

that fits great.

Reason: better
While building a new frame for my '39 Chevy I ran across some interesting things. First, there is a new brake line on the market. It's Copper/nickle/steel and looks like copper. Polishes up nice, soft and easy to bend/double flare. May have read about it elsewhere. Won't rust. Second was the T'Bird rack. I got the non-sport 1979 unit that's three turns lock to lock. As mentioned earlier no need for pressure reducer, and the rack is much cheaper. I know you already have your rack but posted for general into to others. Last is the fuel lines. This build I went with factory style nylon lines (3/8 and 5/16). Got a Dorman tool online to insert factory fittings into the nylon tubing and it works great. No worries with fuel additives attaching the fuel lines. Green with envy regarding the frame.
Hello Folks
wanted to update status of both builds
the Fleetline has taken a back seat to the pickup
the Fleetline went under water during the flooding'
in Baton Rouge last August.
Chassis and drivetrain was spared (at my house)
but body ( on original frame) and lot of interior component's
went under 8' of water at body shop
gauges, air conditioning, interior panels et. lost to water damage
(as a side note the great people at Ididit repaired my steering column
at no charge to me. I really appreciate all they have done
I recommend them to everyone who is looking for steering components
thanks Ididit.)
restarting accumulating needed parts for Fleetline, but have decided to start 52 Chevy truck upgrades
more to come with pictures
don't have any pictures
but am using a 2 row - 1 1/8 tube rad. ( U.S. Radiator) ~ $130
set up to be compatible with an LS motor and maintaining stock dimensions'
will post actual part no. purchased when I find invoice.

hi folks
much needed update on both projects
1952 Chevy Fleetline had taken a back seat to
an1952 AD 3100 pickup.
pickup just finished ( 2 year build ) and will be restarting Fleetline shortly.
Pickup turned into a major project as hidden problems emerged the deeper I dug.
so a major build erupted as a result.
the finish product boosts
a 1999 Chevy S10 long bed chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes
a rebuilt 350 with a 700R4 trans.
A/C with custom design vents
Dakota Digital Gages and a host of misc. upgrades
check out before pictures ( green truck ) from earlier posts
if you have any questions private message for phone no. or respond here
will be posting start to finish of this build on another forum (will let you know which one later)
enjoy new pictures (red truck)
