I've been a member for awhile and it's time to start a build thread. I've been working on the frame for a couple months and sat the cab on by myself today, but wasn't to bad not having the front suspension on yet. I just slide it underneath with the cab on blocks. I'm too wore out to do anything else today. The 390 is in the green truck. I had the camera turned wrong on some of the photos.

I'm going to do some trading around this week and get this grille for the f1 from my boss. The patina matches the cab perfect, and if I turn it upside down it looks like a gas mask. I'm buying a set of wheels off him in payments and I don't want to run my tab too high.

Bullet nose Studebaker?

.

Yes. He bought it off eBay for $250 for this truck but didn't include it. I only ended up paying $600 for the truck with the title. Here is the front end I have to transfer over to my frame. I'm doing a 131 inch wheelbase, same as the 71 I'm taking the 390 out of

I just haven't got it apart yet. I want to measure everything up so it will be exactly the same, just 2x4 rails. I think it look a lot cleaner.
