Good advice I like all the advice I received from you guys, it’s really appreciated! I guess it’s time to go junkyard shopping to get some more parts. I did see a grill and lights sitting on and old late 30’s early 40’s ford dump truck on the way to welding supply house that looked interesting...

Engine clearances I'm trying to mock up the drive train. But I'm unsure how much room I can leave between where the engine sits and the front perch for the front end, it currently sits approximately 8" from the front of the motor to the edge of the perch. If I leave it about where it sits now I...

34 cab finally goes together I finally found some time to start putting the cab together and begin to figure out how and where the cab will sit on my chassis. I also found that the drivers door was hit pretty good and I’ll have to rework it in order to use it. I made my cardboard template and...

Kenny, I have to say I love working with my students and both my grandsons seem to be taking an interest in this project. I also remember hanging with my dads friends at there garage and asking a lot of questions, thank goodness they didn’t mind answering all those questions! :D

I’m just building parts at school to show my students how to layout and fabricate parts. Unfortunately school would not allow a project like this because it’s not part of the curriculum as a whole. The parts I’m building fall right into design, layout and fabrication. I show the students the...

Parts are made!! [cl I finally found the time to make the floor supports, I decided to work with my students and show them how to fabricate the parts. I didn’t think it would take as long as it did. One thing about being a teacher is realizing how much my students don’t know, unfortunately most...

Drweld [cl[clAwesome build!! I love how it looks and sounds!!

Thanks, my friend Rick told me the same thing. Rick does custom builds, he’s my go to guy when I run into problems, I’ve been doing custom pieces for him for years.

[clThis is my first build, I picked up this cab cheap so that I would have a metal body, not fiberglass. I built my chassis already which was originally going to be a 23 tbucket but couldn’t find a metal body that fit my budget. I have a 283 from a 66 Chevy pu, and a turbo 350 tranny with a...
