Down South Junkin

[Overkill]

Howdy. Been lookin at RRR for a while. Finally joined. Been workin around cars since I was 12. Built some hot rods and 4x4s over the years. Gettin ready to start on a rat rod once I get some other junk outta my shop. Got a 41 Chevrolet that was a former US Army truck. Still has USA on the hood and a white cross on the door. Lookin forward to startin this build.

welcome to RRR from alabama , love those old trucks . Sounds like you've got a fun one to start with. Imagine the stories that truck could tell if it were able .

Welcome to the site, I'll be interested to see your build approach on the 41, seeing that I have a 45 I'm still sitting on.

Sounds like a nice truck. Welcome to RRR.

 

[Overkill]

Thanks ya'll. Lookin forward to gettin started on it too. Its far from a nice truck but it's got plenty of character. Right now it is yard decoration with christmas lights around it. No frame, just the cab and front sheet metal, with a 47 Stude bed. All sitting on blocks. With a 34 ford front axle someone welded solid into a trailer axle sitting under the front. Plans are just use the 41 cab and a few frontend pieces on a home built frame, 327 or 350, 4 or 5 speed tranny. Ride about 3 inches off of the ground and see what happens.
Just gathering ideas and parts now.
