got the truck from a guy in richmond, ky. we spent the better part of a day digging it out of his garage, i got a 86 vette rearend and a set of chrome fenderwell sidepipe headers for a smallblock ford. all for $1000.00, the truck also came with a really nice 39 ford radiator and shell.....

I remember seeing that on Louisville craigslist. glad to see it went to some one who is going to finish it. looking forward to some more pics.
 
Thought long & hard about picking that one up. Got enough stuff to haul south when I move in a couple years. Glad to see it went to someone that will do it justice.
 
SCORE, picked up the wildcat motor today, now i need a powerglide

I like the parts stash. I've been gathering up more and more stuff to start my build as well and just bought a 41 ford cab to replace the F1 cab i was going to use. I don't know about you but I'm having a blast just finding the parts to start my build, can't wait to actually drive the thing.

How much is your cab chopped by the way?
 
Great looking parts. I like the corvette rear end, that is gonna be sweet.
Hey is that a horse show holding up the steering column?
 
not really sure on the chop, looks to be about 5". it was done by someone else. i agree half the fun is finding parts, its really hard to find any performance parts for a 300 buick, might have to go to a smallblock ford instead..:(:(:(:(
