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.

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.

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!

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!
