Been awhile since we did anything on the truck. Life got in the way for a bit! The channel is done, cab mounts fabricated and bolted to frame, biggest part of the floor is in, and we making the steering column and finalizing location of the steering box. Hoping to be done enough to drive to...

Thanks for the comments. The frame is a 46 Ford 1/2ton truck frame. Still has the 46 straight axle and leafs. We did remove 2 leafs to lower the front. As far as the stance, it's higher in the back than I want but once we get a bed/fenders, fuel cell, and some kind of bumper on it we'll cut the...

Cab mock up started! Been a couple weeks since we did anything to the truck, but we got it in the shop and started. Fixed some of the buggerd up stuff the last guy did and have a solid cab to work with now. Got it up on the frame to start some mock up. Going to do a 4"-6" channel on...

LOL! If a guy don't get a woody in that store he needs viagra! :eek:

We have a placed called Metal By The Foot in Kansas City. That is where I found it. Takes 4-5 days to get once ordered. The size I'm looking at come's in a minimum 46" length. They have a photo gallery on their website. www.metalbythefoot.com

Thanks Pops! Just something different, haven't seen anything like it on a vehicle before.Plus I need the weight on the back. :D

Twisted Steel Here are some pics of the material were going use for the rear bumper. Second piece in from the top left, with the rebar/flat steel on it is my thought.

Awesome, thanks Breezy. My friend is using front buckets out of a Caravan in his rat.

Thanks. That is something we will need to address for sure.

Thanks. Since we started with an existing but bare frame and had most of the parts before we started it has gone quick. It's going to slow down after this week. The cab I'm using had the chop started so we need to square it back up and fix whatever needs fixed before we can start on finishing...

Looks cool Breezy! What is the seat out of? I was going to use 85 Camaro buckets but like that bench. You'll have to come to KC for Greaserama this year. Good time and lots of cool rats.

Speedway Motors 9300150 SBC fat fender cars. Well worth the money, very well made. I'll check out your thread.

Yes, I found a link on here that is relaying the same information. Definitely going to re-examine the pan hard bar. Thanks for your input.

Thanks. Once we get a bed, and fuel cell back there it will help. Using a 47-53 bed and the rear fenders will have to be widened to fit the tires, that will help. Plus I'm thinking of welding some cranks together or this twisted and rolled rebar/flat steel for a rear bumper. If all else fails...

Not much progress this week. Spent Monday cutting and splitting wood for the garage stove and helping a friend with 41 Ford coupe. Having brake issues. Turns out wrong master cylinder for the 4 wheel disc brake setup. Go figure! Spent Tuesday welding up the rear suspension and doing a little...

Thanks. I'm north of KC. Not many extra parts for the 40. Just the 2 cabs and 4 doors for the chop. I do have a hood and 1 side. Do you have pics up of your 39?

Thanks. MOOG 5660. S10 springs from O'Reilly. The OD is bigger than I wanted but they should work fine. Probably could have got them cheaper if I shopped around but I had them get 2 different set to chose from. These had the smaller diameter coils out of the 2.

Pics from the last couple days... Slowed down over the last few days to do the rear suspension. Fabricated the ladder bars and got the coil spring mounts worked out. Everything is tacked in and measured out right on the money. Also got the Vega steering box installed.

Yeah, I think we'll be ok on the springs.

Awesome trucks! The road trip video is cool as heck, looks like a lot of fun! Congrats on the Overkill shoot. [cl
