  • This week we met back up with jerry who said he had a 1952 Chevy Sedan sitting in a barn since 1976. as soon as I heard him say that I had to come to his barn and see it for myself! This car was filthy and I didn't expect the customer to call me during the end and to make that deal.. I swear its an addiction. Only car people will understand.

    The floor and frame is easy to fix. Get yourself a forney 110 volt flux welder, 1/4 steel for the frame, 18 gage steel for the floor, and angle grinder with a metal cutting disc, and it wouldn’t be any more labor then what you put in to cleaning it to repair all the bad metal.. then you’d make waaaaaaay more profit when you sell it.. smooth of the rough outside parts, look up the paint code for that year and just fill in what’s bad and feather it off.. then you could even stack waaaay more profit on top of that waaaaay more profit.. and I’m sure the engine spins, so tune up, fluids, battery and ur good to go.. it sounds like a lot but it ain’t. Bet your channel would blow the hell up if u did all that… repaint the rims, new white walls.. then you’d keep her. Guaranteed.. kid stuff super easy. 2k tops in materials.

    the C10 is often referred to as a half-ton, short bed pickup, it actually came in two different lengths. There was the 6.5 foot bed that had a 115 inch wheelbase and there was also the full size 8 foot bed with a 127 inch wheel base.
    115inch is a perfect match for your car with no frame.

    That's NOT a 1952. It's a '51 Style line Deluxe. I know because I had a '52 for 12yrs that I drove around the Bay Area, CA. I swapped the engine out for a '59 235ci with a whopping 135hp. Mine also had a two spd Powerglide automatic transmission and dual exhaust (Fenton headers) and was a 4dr Sedan and it was also dark green. my favorite color. I bought it in 1994 in Oakland,CA where it lived it's whole life being owned by a Dr. who made house calls with it. Great find and have fun with it. If it were me I'd keep it as original as possible.

    Absolutely a “Dreamboat!” If it was me, I would LOVE to completely restore it back to original, as best I could,(finding parts, getting some parts restored, etc.) and definitely keeping the same beautiful green paint color, and, maybe adding some white pinstripes . One main part, to start with, would be another car frame, not truck. If the rims are good, cleaning & repainting them(also the same green color,) and adding white wall tires. That would be,(@ least to me,) a fantastic “Sunday Driver & Car Show Stunning Ride!” Best wishes with it, & have fun!

    Hey buddy, if you look hard enough you'll find a frame to stick under that car. That's a really cool looking car you got there

    Tip : Old paint would chip off because of the lead , lead paint stopped in 1976 . Maybe the car was not in an accident

    Fabricate a new frame, suspension, disk brakes, replace the sheetmetal, chop the top and go from there.

    My father had a 51 stylline coupe. Same Green color with all the accessories. Bad shape? Yes, but not as bad as I've seen. Definately could be saved. Would hate to see this scrapped. Lots of good parts there.

    Dave, That car would be perfect for a body drop onto a Chevy S10 Blazer frame and floor

    If it’s made of metal, It can be repaired. I have seen cars a lot ,lot worse than this one brought back to life. she’s a beauty. A chassis swap would be the most logical way to go.

    I gotta ask...what is it about nearly every old car about to be revived that the air cleaner is missing?. I'm from that era and don't recall anyone removing the air cleaner when they were finished driving the car.

    This is a 1951 not a 52 which you probably know by now.

    Resto mod.. radius the wheel wells.. tub the body. Back half it .. straight axle it.. big block, 4 gear it. Patch the frame or reframe it.. DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE WEIGHT!! Battery in the trunk,, fuel cell it,, nostalgia gasser...
