Anyone here have a car in the show? I will be there Saturday evening and hope to meet some of the local guys like Gregster and jd55f100. Click the link below for all the show information. World of Wheels - Birmingham, AL

JD and Gregster, were you able to put cars in World of Wheels? I will be there Sat. evening and look forward meeting you.

I joined the Yep forums and looked through some of the pictures. I have never been to any other shows besides WoW. I am very excited to get involved and even more so to be able to enter our truck! I live in just on the outskirts of T'town in Cottondale. It's about 8 miles from the UA. I am...

We have made it to most of the BJCC car shows for the last 4-5 years. A few years ago I saw this truck and it got me thinking about building something. Before that I thought all hot rods had to be shiny!

I saw you were from around here and read through your build. Your truck turned out great! For now we are going to knock the rust off and give it a blitz black paint job. If the engine runs we are keeping it and lowering the stock suspension. If not we have a 351w that needs to be rebuilt and...

Nasty looking C10 tow truck.

Welcome to RRR from Tuscaloosa, AL! What part of AL are you from? My dad and I are starting a project 1954 Ford F100.

ShoryForty on KB saved and posted more pictures of the pickup. Still no build thread. Click Here for more pictures.

I thought about that once but have not been able to locate a wrecker bed yet. Still playing with ideas though. I did find a 1 Ton Dualie frame from the same year that I could use to pull off the "Towmater" theme better.

I agree! Here are some more pictures of the GMC.

My dad called it an "Updraft Carb" so I think you are right. I thought it would look cool sitting on the back of this 1956 Chevy GMC flatbed. We may get it after the F100 is done.

Found this in a junkyard near my house. The engine looks really cool like some kind of flat head but I have no idea what it is. What do you guys think?

I'm on board the Rat Train from Tuscaloosa, AL. Just strated my first project a 54 Ford F100.

Thanks for the links. We want to keep the engine for now if we can make it run. Dad thinks it is missing a starter solenoid and the wiring is all rigged right now. I thought a book might help us work that out.

We plan to keep the original 223 Straight 6 (if it runs), media blast the body, and paint it a flat color. A mild suspension drop but no chop. Later we have a 351 Windsor that may find a new home under the hood! But I am sure that will require some donor suspension parts front and rear.
