B KNUCK,
Man, your truck's looking FANTASTIC! It's really pulled together and looks to me like a fluid, complete package.
Diggin' on your bud's cool IH, too. I assume he's leaving it fenderless? Kudos to him if he is! I wouldn't mind seeing some more pics of that bad boy, too.
Regards,
Shea
P.S. Congrats on "BEST PAINT" With all that metalcarving, I don't think ANY colour but what it is would suit it!

I know its been a while since I have posted, but I got burned out a bit and needed a break. Well I am back at it again, I am need of a TRI-POWER or DUAL-QUAD set up for my truck. A 1960 thru 1964 set up should work for my 389 Pontiac. I did install a gear with a thumper cam, should sound really wicked. I think a nice intake system would top it out very nice.Thanks Curt
P.S. HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND GOD BLESS

I know its been some time since I last posted, but I really got burned out on my project. I am glad to say I am back at it, I started cleaning up the loose ends on the cab. The belt line below the window was completly rusted out so I had to make a new on. I have a friend thats doing the motor and should be ready next week. Here are some pics of my progress. Oh one more thing,I have seen alot of guys using pipes, wood, jacks, sticks, coat hanger, ect to hold sheet metal panels in place. I came up with using tie down straps, you can adjust each one to what you need. By using this method you can adjust a whole panel before welding. I thought someone might want to try it.

Still crazy after all these years!
BK, I see your sweet project created a poop storm over at the H--B. Too many critics with too much spare time, I'd say. Some of them are hot rod restorer types that can't appreciate your artistry & creativity. Gee, was that a rant?
Anyway, keep up the great work. When do you expect to have it on the road?

Guys thinking outside the box is what rodding is all about. What do you think they said to the first guy that stripped down a model t to make it go faster. Do it you're way, but please post pics! ha ha

I really love what you have got going on your build.Let me know if you need any advice on building your rocker system, I am no pro but I learned a few things building mine. Your truck is one of the better builds I have looked at.
