I finally snapped some pictures of my truck, so after lurking on here for a while i decided i would post it up. the truck is a 1949 F2 that was given a frame shortening, 250 chevy inliner, and a powerglide.

 

Wow, bowtie with a powerglide....interesting combo

There's some cool speed parts available for the old stovebolts.

Welcome to the board!

Nice ride! You should be proud as your truck seems to be coming along great. Progress is extra slow for me because most parts cost close to $100.00 to ship to Alaska. When I lived in the lower 48 shipping was little to nothing.

 

Cool truck!!! Glad to see you posted a pic!! I like the checkered valve cover!!!!

 

Valve cover looks cool. Body looks to be in pretty good shape.

 

Wow what a fun looking truck!

Welcome to FTE!

 

thank you all for the comments, the valve cover was just a thought not sure how much I like it yet.

 

Actually that appears to be a very late Stovebolt; I swear I see an EGR?? And the bolts with cad plating are in holes for air injection? Anyway, it's an unusual combination for sure!

 

Look forward to more of your post.

 

I found a bed and some fenders so I threw them on, and I must say they do not look half bad for mix matched parts.

 

Looks like you are coming alone pretty good. I think thats the first white firewall I've seen. What color or colors are you going with on the body.

 

Im leaning towards the seafoam green, white accent look.

 

Starting to come together!!!! I like to see someone have progress!!

 

Looks Great! Bed looks pretty clean! Great score on that!

 

Cool truck! I have a 48 F-3 that I cut down to F-1 size also. The F-1 fenders will fit right in place of the big truck fenders too if you want them and so will full length F-1 running boards. I considered going with the 250 inch Chevy six / 350 turbo for my 49 F-1 because I had one out of a 75 Malibu at the time but eventually went with a 302/AOD. There are also cast iron dual exhaust manifolds available for the 250 like the old Fentons that were used on the 216/235 engines. Good luck with your truck!
