Dumb question but is that stock rear axle offset to one side?
Neat at any rate.

Its all hydro brakes. Even has the frame mounted master cylinder like is cool for the hot rodders today. I was thinking of going back to cable operated just for the pucker factor. lol
Mark, no the title has not cleared, but I know who had title last and talked to him. He is cool with applying for a new one and signing it over.

If you want them pink, I will through in the paint.
I had a 1937 chevy tow truck dually in my back yard with cable operated brakes on all 4 corners and from the front view, it looked like the 39 in the pic.Not sure what you're looking at. The Fords are what had mechanical brakes back in that vintage. I see rubber brake hoses up front.
I've had the same idea for years... just haven't had the time or place to make it happen yet. I'd love to see more pics as you start getting it together.
Chevy started using hydraulic brakes in 1936.

It is a 216ci. Locked solid. I tried giving it away. Want it????? It would make a great boat anchor.

no thanks(maybe if wasn't toast), i was wondering how ''small'' the older l-6 was, i've been toying w/ idea of building me a l-6/sm465/203/205 and building another k5 w/ my 3/4 ton axles when i put the 1 ton axles in my current k5
