42' Dodge pickup

Zaq · Mar 28, 2012

Well I havent posted on here in way to long. Been busy unfortunetly.
But heres a quick read though of my build...its my first build Ive ever done, and definitley not the last, im only 21, so I have plenty of time left I hope...

Started off with this nice piece...

It was a 42 Dodge cab, that was a Navy convoy truck...sittin on a 47 chassis. I sold the chassis and front end...

Then I got some blades out...

Started buildin a new chassis...

In the meantime I picked up a grill shell from a 27 Dodge Bros. A steering box from a 60's Mopar...a Chevy 406. And some other things.
Started looking like something...

Been a while since ive been on here...heres some good pictures a kid I know took of the truck last fall.

Since I havent posted on here in a while...
some updates...

truck runs awesome...and I drive it as much as i can..which isnt much unfortunetly. But its getting some miles.
I swtiched away from the chain driven steering setup and now have shafts and joints...just to make it a little tighter.

And...Im actually trying to sell the truck...because I am ready for a new project..and have something in my head and I know it wont get out until I build it. [
