truck progress stopped Well this is the last post on this truck for a while. Cab is at the body shop. Frame is in my friend's garage and I am going away for a year. Engine mounts from Brother's haven't showed up yet. My friend is going to swap the front axle for me and get the rearend finished...

tandem price just found out how much he wants for it. since its coming from a junkyard, he wants 15 cents a pound for it. Now the fun starts, anyone have any idea on how much it might weigh so i can start talking my wife into it. Also the new street rodder magazine has a tandem axle rat...

had to find it After seeing this post I had to check it out. I tried watching an episode but my computer was acting up. From what I watched I am hooked. Looks like I found a new show my wife won't watch with me.

more from Salina Junkyard well here are the last few pics of the old stuff. the last truck is a tandem axle and i have brainstorms for that one. i was thinking a big rig rat hauler....if the wife says yes. well i just hope they dont scrap it before i can get to it.

Well i figured i cant keep everything to myself so here are some pics from the junkyard here in Salina. he doesn't have a lot but he does have some. I know of another place North of here that has a lot more trucks. when i go up to see the family i will try to run down and take pics of that...

its all wrong well i spent most of this last week tinkering around with the truck and started to find problem after problem and realized i dont have the tools or time to fix the stuff. sadly i have to say the cab of my truck will be going to a shop to be fixed. :( but i found a good shop to do...

welcome welcome to the site from salina kansas

thats great to hear. which component of army did he decide on. just wondering. he will do great things and believe me he will make you even prouder than what you are right now.

went with yellow well the girls decided for me and i went with yellow. i still have to do the rear fenders which are not here. paint the doors green and find a used bed and i will paint that green also. its a slow progress but it will get done eventually.[cl

progress ok so i dont have any pics to update with yet but the cab and hood got the old rustoleum treatment and is now green. decided i wanted something a little different than flat black. now i am undecided do i go with black or yellow(would be a JD theme) on the fenders and running boards...

welcome welcome to the site. there are plenty of great builds to look at to get ideas. have fun when you find your project......dont forget to start a build thread when you do.[P

rear end finally in well after i got off work today i went into the garage for a little bit to play around since i got the rims. i got the rear end completely in and now it is rolling again. we will just put it on jack stands and take the wheels off when we weld the axle seats. my friend is...

just reminds me I know the feeling. I had a small go around with my dad. He is very supportive of what I do but doesn't understand why I am building the 48 chevy the way I am. He tried to tell me keep it original but I can't do that. I want something I will enjoy driving. It will look...

rims well i just went junkyard hunting and scored a set of rims for $40. plan is to get them blasted and paint them either green or black. still wondering if wide whites would look good with them. also thinking of finding a center cap for them too.

sweet idea that is just a little too sweet but scary at the same time. is there a way for you to record when you are in the garage so you can go and edit it in the future and make like minisodes of shop time. oh the brainstorming it starting and i am getting a headache. i just hope i get a...

another one it might be your junk but its my treasure.

engine removed well it took me a while by myself to get the engine pulled but it is finally out. so if anyone wants a free engine pm me. all i know is that is an inline six from a 60s or early 70s car. now i have to go to the farm and i am going to see what i can do about pulling my donor...

same boat i completely feel the pain. i just brought my 48 chevy home and within 4 days of having it off the trailer, i had a letter stating i needing to be in accordance with city code...no inoperable vehicles park outside. well i drove around town yesterday and counted at least two dozen...

pics finally well as promised, pics from pulling the rear end on the truck. getting ready to go out right now to work on it a little more......will try to update with more pics after tomorrow.

swap well by the time we made the truck compliant with the city ordinance and i had lunch with my in laws, i started tearing into the truck. i go almost all the old wiring pulled out. the dash looks really bare now. then i had to make supper and by about 8:30pm i was ready to pull the rear...
