I sold a kit to a nice guy and two weeks later he was selling the whole project. so I ponied up and bought it all at a great price considering i made all the mounts. it was a "mostly" complete 55.1 1st series, more on that later. he had just plopped the cab on an ext cab frame and trailered it...

I apologize for my absence, between spurious and fitful supply of parts for my 47-55.1 kits I have spent a large amount of what was supposed to be building time, and therefore personally enjoyable time, hunched over my small cnc table cutting parts for orders. because I am an idiot who loves...

I dont care how quick the job is, if you will be doing any more than changing a tire (and even then consider it!) USE A JACK STAND. I dont know who needs to hear this but just imagine your significant other or your kids coming out to your legs sticking out from under a car or truck, and that...

well I wanted to have another truck done by now, and its close, but life is full of surprises. first, we bought that new property and my wife who said were werent going to do any remodeling whatsoever took her jekyll/hyde potion and immediately bought f o u r t e e n h u n d r e d s q f t...

went on an invited trip with a good buddy for a look at a hidey hole. this is what I saw when I googled the address. hmm. thats a good looking view the guy doing the inviting had this in his driveway, another good sign. and when we pulled up, this was their "got get it" tow machine...

so enough time has elapsed, I am bored again. named Bickle because the fenders are yellow, they are the ones I picked up in omaha last year. and the cab/hood/bed/running boards will be black, giving the appearance of a taxi I think. the most famous taxi driver I know (besides Jim) is...

well I still dont have any news and idle hands are the devils playthings, so I popped on craigslist to find some more trucks. this is all that was available for what I was looking for, all of the V6 longbeds were seriously overpriced and none of the shortbeds were V6. I wanted to stay in the...

answered an ad for some parts, debated on taking my 41 and should have. not more than 4 miles from my door, I pulled in and in the driveway were a 47 stude business couple and a 47 buick. the parts ended upnot being what I was looking for. he said yes to me walking around and taking pictures...

hannah is fun to drive but I am bored again. originally I planned on a COE as the next project but I already have all the parts for this one. well donor parts anyway. wamego is a small town in northern kansas, I always liked the way the name sounded. got this 49 GMC from Wayne, 93 years young...

yes its weird after the string of weird project names, Slopoke, Booger, Fenix, going simple with a nice pretty girls name, Hannah. its also the name of a horned angel, and this 41 cab has a pair of running lights on the roof that look like the cutest little horn stubs. IMG_6451 by Joe Doh, on...

for you guys that have a rad hose that loops up higher than the rad cap for whatever reason, you need a filler/bleeder at the highest point so there isnt any air in the system. IMG_6622 by Joe Doh, on Flickr I found a filler neck with a rad cap from a 2003 Dodge durango V8 that comes with...

using an S10 frame is great for the wide availability of lowering parts available, but some guys work on a different budget. If you are cutting a coil to lower the truck 2" you might not want to spend $100-$120 a pair on some shorter gas charged shocks and wait for them to ship. The 1972-1984...

yes I know how to spell Phoenix. the 49 is done, well, done-ish. :lol: projects keep my hands busy and my liver clean. This is my 1941 1/2 ton short bed build. I took apart the 41 I bought last super bowl weekend. I rolled it in the garage on my 8k lb capacity body cart because sometimes...

my google search is not turning up any leads. This bed I am asking about has a tag that identifies it as a powers utility bodies bed. I thought it was a ford bed at first, it has 48-52 ford rear fenders on it. it was cut into a truck bed trailer at some point. when I got it home though I...

found a stash of 3.5 floppys (younger guys know them as the "save button") 1996 ish (this is a cellphone picture of a real picture found with the stash) I bodydropped and 4 linked that truck about 3 months later. 1998 ish smoke dawg! I almost got 17 fix-it tickets driving this to pick...

lucked out and was the first guy to call again, let him set his price and honestly I was a bit blown away but happy to pay $40. I think the steel would have cost 3 times that, and scrap value is around there. I will put some casters on it, and the welding and plasma carts fits perfect under...

I dont like brand new gauges in the old dash, I think the original gauges look best. most GM since the early 90s have electronic gauges instead of analog gauges that work on resistance. they use a stepper motor, which is a DC synchronous motor that has precise degreed steps instead of continuous...

I bought this truck last year out of clearwater ks, it is a flatbed 3600 it has a pretty good body but someone shot it a few times and the bullet holes let water in, the floors are toast. picked up some long running boards for a 1/2 ton shortbed wake up early if you want the deals, this...

I am Russ, not joe. I like to screw around and modify almost everything I own. Here is my 47 GMC on 99 S10 4.3 auto. it started out as here is my 65 C10 on 98 S10 2.2 5 spd it started out as yes I know that is a 62 cab, it was originally a 62 and I found the 65 big window donor. I am a...
