the scrap pyle

[Los_Control]

Been looking at the scrap pile and while trying to decide what stays and what goes, I asked TheMoose over on the H.A.M.B to put together a photoshop photo of a 52 pilothouse and a 51 suburban.

Thought would share it here.

I like white!  I'm finishing up a '37 Chevy coupe that is white w/ red interior.  Good on you!

Let me be clear, this is not a real truck! it is a photoshop version of 2 vehicles off the internet.

I have a 1952 truck that is a mess and has a good cab and doors, and I am scrapping out a 1951 plymouth suburban. I was wondering what they would look like combined.

I thought the photoshop would tell if I want to attempt the project.

Here is where I would be starting. And for the record, have been busy and only 3 cars left from the photo, everything has been pretty well cleaned up.

With enough money and time, you can make anything happen...but to go from the green boxless truck, to the white...deep deep pockets are a necessity LOL

You know, it doesn't have to be that complicated a project if you can just put the Suburban quarters on a bed with a standard tailgate, ala '57 Sweptside.  Keep it in "patina" and blow people's minds over a phantom factory job!

Indeed, it was looking at a 1957 sweptline that got me thinking about it.

No time to work on it right now, to busy cleaning up the junk yard.

But if I think I may want it to work on later, I have to save it now or it all is going.

At the same time, the job is to clean up and not save everything. I think I can cut the quarters out and set them aside just in case. And I think the suburban tail lights, bumper, tail gate all add to the look and needed. And the rear end is going in molly.

Same time I am busy away working on molly my avatar, she will be as close to original daily driver as I can keep her. Soon will update the thread I started on her. But the 52 is open game, will be a project for fun.

I have no intention of keeping it a flat 6, the current choices available in the shed, 235, 283, 350, 318, 318 wedge, 390 FE but for some reason I like  the 272 y block with 3spd overdrive. But a good 235 with 4 speed would be good too.

Even toyed with the idea of bronco II 4x4 running gear that am going to scrap out, but axles are not strong enough.

I just need to create my scrap pile before it is all gone and to late. Then later on this summer can decide what's what.
