When in doubt, get the torch out: Rebuilding the rear suspension on our 1950 Chevy 3600

As Davin always says, "When in doubt, get the torch out." In this episode of Redline Update Davin cuts off the rear suspension and rebuilds all the suspension components on our 1950 Chevy 3600. We hope you enjoy this episode of Davin working in the shop, it's a little different than most of our other Redline Updates.

REDLINE REBUILDS - bit.ly/3bNdVmN
We spend hundreds of hours tearing apart old engines, machining and obsessively cleaning the parts, and reassembling it all. We exhaustively chronicle every step along the way with thousands of photos, then boil it down to a fast-paced but incredibly detailed time-lapse video. Share the satisfaction of the finish and the first fire-up!
BARN FIND HUNTER - bit.ly/2WgjGTg
Tom Cotter literally wrote the book(s) on barn finds, starting with The Cobra in the Barn. Tom travels North America in his 1939 Ford Woodie Wagon, searching for forgotten classics in barns, backyards, dusty garages, and scrapyards and meeting the fascinating characters who open the barn doors for him and tell him their stories.
WHY I DRIVE - bit.ly/2WhLPtv
Deep dive profiles of owners of interesting cars. Owners narrate, sharing their particular passion, with evocative on-the-road footage. We take you to their homes and garages, showing you firsthand the turn of the key, the first high-rpm upshift, and their favorite roads and destinations, whether it’s the local racetrack, ice cream parlor, or canyon road.

I love how the "helper leaf" is just an entire extra leaf pack haha. Mans truck right there

[@dinkydotzero]

The OCD in me wants to wire brush all that and chassis black everything in sight now

[@Delatsch]

It's a thrill to watch these videos! Davin is such a down to earth ARTIST. Simple and creative ways to renew and repair instead of just ordering hundreds and hundreds of dollars of parts.

[@mvd2321]

Really like how Dave is so enthusiastic on a less than stellar task. One thing, safety boots but no safety goggles when pounding on that bushing pin? As a pilot, I protect my eyes at all costs. Food for thought. Thanks for the great videos.

[@N-Scale]

I know some of this mundane stuff gets old but I enjoyed seeing how that was done and can only imagine how much better it will ride.

My wife always knows I'm watching cars shows when she hears all the tapping.

In contrast to my own attitude when restoring my 1953 1-ton International R-132 pickup, Davin is relaxed and like a Zen Master. I have learned a lot about my own truck from watching you work on this Chevy. Thanks a LOT!

[@Stephanie9959]

I like the slow blues guitar music. Love to watch you work.

High quality all around here. Davin of course, but also the production and editing staff as well.

[@walterhubicki5207]

So so cool! Best to see the challenges with "vintage" car/truck "rustoration".

[@tomnekuda3818]

Always good to see Davin at work.....sounds about like me when I'm workin'. I learned to drive on a Chevy like this but half-ton. My younger brother and I would load it up with bales....go out to the pasture....put it in "creeper gear".....set the throttle get in the back and throw out hay after we cut the strings....then run along....jump back in the cab....take it off hand throttle. We had it down to an art. I also used to drive a '49 Ford pickup with flathead V8.....loved the sound of those old flatheads. Good memories.

[@chuckhaynes6458]

As I plod along working on my Willys Panel Truck I know that I'm not alone. Enjoyed the video... thanks.

[@fariddenoun6787]

Good job, good Luck for the next.

[@raylarkin5004]

I wanted to clean it up too.

[@lasalleman6792]

Very good presentation. Great workaround ideas too.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I love the cameraman interaction with Davin when working with these re builds. Gives this show a more natural feeling.

[@benhadden7038]

Always love you watching you do and explain why the little things that you do bring these cars back to driving condition. Can’t wait to hear the straight six roar for this back into life.

[@stopstalkingyouspookybastard]

davin is an artist

[@streetstock72]

Just love coming into the house from the shop and watching you skin your knuckles as well. Great idea about those bushings btw.👌
