Sup The super singles I got for a good price, free. But since we had already welded the z in the frame i am sticking with the duals.

Update Farthest so far

Update More pictures

Update Here are some updates after a long hiatus of the build. So far we got the front frame built out of 2x4 1/8" wall rectangular tubing and the motor is mounted on 2x4 1/8" with 1/4" plate that we plasma cut to fit the 460 motor mounts. One of the last pictures has the front spring mocked...

Hiatus Nope. I haven't given up on it. I think about almost everyday. I made a change in career choice and a change in location for the time being. The truck is still in NM and I am in NV for college, all over again. So right now it is at a stand still. I went to viva las vegas this year which...

str8 grill Pops, I thought about that when i first got the "tins". i thought about finding some of that old oil heater cover in brass. I am going to attempt, at first, to straighten the grill out as best i can. I would really like to bring some of that soul back from the original shape of the...

mock up I pulled out the front end from the '47 ford this morning, spent all day yesterday getting the cab pulled off the '48 frame, sprayed the 460 and trans, and some time messing around with the grill and a tape measure. The cab is sitting on the ground right now with the rest of the pieces...

And if my memory serves me correct the out bezel of the grill is stamped.

White Truck Picture again That '32 looks pretty sharp flipper, but I am pretty sold on the suicide front end. Here is that picture again. This time it is the right dimensions

hood and 47 body Flipper, if you are judging that the grill is too tall by the mock up photo that I have posted previously, you would be right. That mock up is on a 1948 chevrolet chassis, that I won't be using. We just wanted to get a feel for how the truck used to look, as I had no idea what...

fenders I agree with you flipper. The fenders are pretty much not in the equation. As far as a the hood goes, we are thinking about cutting the sides and run just the top over the engine and use the sides maybe as the start to the bed. I am looking for some options as far as front wheels and...

These photos are from the more recent progress.

Here are some pictures from the beginning of the project. To summarize the history of this build; I acquired a 61 White Super power truck cab, fenders, hood and grill from a salvage yard in Hobbs,NM around August of 2012. The truck used to do it's duty in Carlsbad, NM as a garbage truck and...

I haven't started one yet. I will get it up.

Updates To project Here are a few more pictures since I last signed in. I was able to find a '89 F350 for the donor truck. It had a 460 and a 5 speed. The plan was to cut the rear end out of the f350 and use it as the starting point on the frame. We are going to z it out to drop the cab closer...

Just picked up a 61 White Super Power ex carlsbad nm garbage truck cab, grill, hood and fenders in hobbs,nm. I am currently living in west texas and working on the truck from a buddy's shop in hobbs. I am currently wanting to do a big block ford in the truck and a manual trans. Right now the cab...
