odds and ends Just some misc. pics

Gimme headers Used a Jegs kit and welded up some headers and used 3" out the back under the cab. I made my own baffles based on the car chemistry style. I used freeze plus for the plates. Truck was loud and had no tone so I got a couple of the IMCA mufflers from Day. More roundy round stuff...

5.0 furd I dumped the fuel injection for a 600 DP Holley and a Weiand Xcellerator,GT40P heads and a Furd X303 roller cam. Saw some old Interceptor stickers at a swapmeet and stuck them on the late model covers and put on a breather in place of EGR. Had a fox body pan with the hump on each end...

Truck is complete Yes the truck is finished I was just showing how I did it. If you are a decent welder and have PATIENCE,do your research and take lots of time. You should be able to do it. Welding sheetmetal is a whole new world. Some guys said I should have welded a strip inside the cab...

poor boy dash Laser cut again.

chevy in a ford with a ford Here are some shots of the rear set up I used.

Frame Photos Just found these. See how Jedro used brazing????????? All that brass really contaminated my welds as it kept bleeding out of the frame. The truck was hacked on but I don't think they ever actually had a small block in it. Just the mounts.

more pics Here's some more. tips Cut straight. Go slow, think it out BEFORE you do it . Keep gaps the same all the way around when you weld it up. Watch your heat.

0230 chop I was working late one nite on the truck and was pondering whether to chop it or not. I have always wanted a chopped top on a hotrod. Well at 2:30 in the morning I decided to do it. I had been reading all I could about it. But had never done that kind of metal work. I taped it of and...

Rump Roasters For the rear I knew I wanted to try the late 60 early 70 GM pee kup rear end setup. I found a set of arms cheap and a set of 175 lb coils at a swapmeet. I have some good friends that have lasers so I just laid out my rear mounts like I wanted them and they whipped em out. You...

Major parts collected With all the MAJOR parts collected it was time to start. I saw Hotrod Preachers front frame section and knew I wanted to use the stock frame somewhat simular to what he had done. Pulled everthing down to the bare frame and double Z'd it. And pinched it in. He PM'd me with...

Donor Furd Did some horse trading and swapping and ended up getting the motor trans. and rearend out of this Pee Kup. Will use the 351 for a stroker motor for the 48 when my ship comes in. Had tons of small stuff on it I stripped off to use in the project. I drove it home with a broke steering...
