Ok, I bent some tubing, welded, and cut on the firewall, so I guess I have officially started on my build. I will make no claims about the rate of work on this project - I hope it goes quickly, but if I get too busy this is the first thing that will suffer. So, I picked up a very rusty set...

Ok, I'm looking for pics of at least one truck in particular. I found 2 pics of it in one of the long threads on here a while back, and would like to see other views for an idea I've been formulating. The truck has the cab in the front with what looks like one of the big, old GM V12 truck...

Well, I saw a lot of trucks today in about 80 miles of driving from my house. I first went to look at an early 40's Dodge 1.5 ton truck that I can buy for $400. It was rougher than I'd expected with some heavy rust, particularly in the doors. But, I think it's totally usable... Found...

Ok, I am in the very early stages of working out a plan of attack on this project. I bought this truck from an old country guy in about 1996 and it looked like this: I knew it wasn't in nearly as nice shape as it appeared, but it was a good deal so I went for it. It was pretty much all...

I guess I might as well introduce myself. I'm a welding instructor at a technical college these days after spending 12 years as an engineer for a small sportscar company. I also have a one man fabrication business centered on a large mandrel tube bender doing cage, chassis, and exhaust work in...
