![]() ![]() Back track to Oct 2007. So I bought a cab up in Wisconsin and then bought a donar 69 Galaxie that ran like a raped ape here in Chicago. It has a 351W motor, FMX trans, and 9" rear end. I parted out the rest of the car to get my money back out of it and help the restoration guys. I will keep posting pics in the thread till I get up to this weeks progress. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Once I got the Galaxie stripped I brought the cab, drive train and rear end assembly out to Voo Doo Larry Kustoms to get a frame made and the top chopped. I did not understand the geometry and didnt have the welding skills yet to make a safe frame. So I had them do it. While it was there at his shop I had him take about 4.5" out of the top.
I picked up my front rims off of ebay and the rear coil overs as well. I bought a tube axle, spring, and radious rods from Speedway. Larry did a great job chopping the top and fabricating the frame. I just wish I would have found these websites sooner and learned how to do it myself. The truck sat for months til I saved up enough money to get started again. Fast forward to this: ![]() I bought a 35 grill shell and mounted it, and picked up a pair of Model T headlights and also mounted them. |

Awesome. The late 30's Fords are my favorite Cabs.
Keep it up!

Some more pics and info from the build (about 2mos old).
I installed 1940 Ford brakes up front. The steering box got mounted. I think I have the front of the drag link bolted on the top of the steering arminstead of the bottom. I need to flip it. ![]() Brian ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I like how they angled up the front instead of a Z, kinda wish I had seen that before I built mine. Oh well, next one!
