 Redoing a 34 chev 1/2 ton as well.This is going to be my wife's ride.
  Plan are an early chev inline 250 with a 700r4 transmission and a 411 posi toyota rear end.The Toyota rear end has 6 bolt stud pattern that gm wheels fit and is the same width as a 34 chev rear end.Truck will remain basically stock in apperence includind wire wheels.

Real nice looking truck. That will be what I am looking for in the future if possible. I like the 682 guide headlights and turn signals that are on the truck so if you aren't gonna use them let me know. For your wife?? Have fun with it and you have a solid build plan I hope with fenders. I have a 78 chevy 250 inline truck engine put away for future.

Oh Yeah
              Full fenders and box,Keeping my eye's open for an antique wrecker for it as well.So hard to find part's and such living in the big city.Canadiain cars mostly were rust bucket's unless they were from western canada

Should be a good looking ride for the wife.  Good luck with the project.

Gotta love those early Chevy trucks. With a 700R4 and an inline six even with the 4:11 gears she should get good mileage. Whats your idea for the bed floor?

Just thought I would post a few more pictures of my truck build.Got all the sheet metal cleaned up and now starting to fab some of the replacement metal for the wood removal

[EDNY]

Very nice...that cab looks great...wish my project looked that good.  I started at the other way...have the chassis, engine, tranny, wiring almost done.  My last stage will be the body!

You are doing nice work, and it's cleaning up real nice.  I sure do like them old trucks.

just thought I would update the progress on my 34 chev pick up . just about ready to take it apart and start priming and paint. I still have to do the chassis plans are a Toyota 4 runner rear end and a 52 chev front axle all 6 bolt to run the original wire wheels . Toyota 6 bolt axles are the same as chev 6 bolt and are 52 inches wide , the same as chev rear end

[themoose]

Your truck is looking great. Where did you find the bed and rear fender?...They look to be brand new.

Nice work, looks like you have the chassis laid out well.  I like the idea of using the original wheels.  It'll be nice to see some color on it but it does look great naked.

[logride]

The wire wheels will look fantastic.
