Just another of many...1940 chevy truck

1940 chevy truck with a 440 mopar motor, I built the frame and suspension, just sat the cab and bed on this weekend and have started framing the floor in.
I scored the 2x4 tunnel ram this past weekends swap meet. I am going to fab an aluminum top plate to run 3 x 2 barrel carbs maybe 4 x 2's just to be different.

I am going to chop it 6" and much more......
still way under construction obviously.

Looks really good!!!

no interior yet, just started the flooring of the cab and bed, in fact, just sat them on the frame sunday afternoon for the floor mock up, then I have to yank everything off again, finish the frame work, trussing and welding, painting, etc etc etc

been working on the frame for 3 weeks off and on 1 -2 nights a week when I could. The Powder Coating keeps me plenty busy and I dont get to wrench on it much. After looking at it for a few days, i think less chop would suit the long bed look better, so 4" is prolly the number we will do.

I had to fab all the brackets for the 37 straight axle too, its good to finally see it sitting up on its own and actually seeing real world how its stance is.

The truck looks amazing. After seeing all the rat trucks on the site, it just makes me more and more excited for tax time so I can have the extra loot to pick up my project.
