Still lots left to do. Im waiting to get the barn done so i can finish this one. doing some stuff in the garage at home to make things go along alittle quicker and have stuff ready to bolt in. Rebuilding the trans now. Then have to finish the more, carb linkages.

Heres some pics of the 40 chevy. None of the real cab (nice one we're using), just of the parts truck. Frame is perfect on that thing. Looks like it was an old hot rod back in the day. Had a 283 with a 3 speed saginaw out of a vette. Has a 56 chevy rear. Cab was crushed when a tree fell on it but im turing the cab into a roadster while Josh is away at school. Look for it on sale when i get it finished, hopefully before winter.

Truck behind my taco, barely made it back.

Close up

Stripped down

283 w/the saginaw 3 speed and early lakewood scatter shield

Thanks Bob.. that buick your pops had sounds pretty cool. Im looking to find a 2dr hard top, eihter 59 or 60 just for a cool custom i can run around in. But that wont be around untill these are done.

And this really isnt the cab im using. Have a cherry 40 cab in new york that i chopped with my frined josh. Its sitting there with a rebuilt torquetube rear and a hot little 235. Put that in this frame and have a nice little chassis that we can put the nice cab on. The red cab thats on the truck now is gonna be turned into a roadster. Cut the top off today so all the hard works done. Now i just have to cap off the cut with some tubing. Make it nice and round, just pretty lookin. Then ill make my own hallock/duvall type windshield for it.
