Yes, all the front suspension parts are sold! Sorry it took me so long to reply.

What kind of oil did you use when you changed it?

You're planning on using a Model A grill aren't you? If so I'd just use one or the other. If you were using a grill shell with grill, like say a '35 Chevy truck or something similar, I'd say put an electric pusher fan in front of the radiator and run a mechanical fan on the engine. '94-97...

The suicide suspension parts are sold pending payment. How about $125 shipped for everything else? Just want it out of my garage before it gets damaged.

Look like about a 1941 Plymouth coupe to me plymouth__deluxe_coupe___rare_in_top_condition_1941_2_lgw by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr

Heck yeah, buy the '51 if nothing else but for the clean title and vin then peddle the rest of the truck on down the road, or if it fits your vision use the front clip and anything else off the 51 and sell what's left. Nobody here will tell you you're right or wrong on the looks of your truck...

Heck, if I was you I'd snag it just for some sweet yard ornament lol. I'm sure that grill is worth a few bucks if its still intact.

Basically scrub line is, if you have a flat tire you want the rim to be the only thing that smacks the pavement and not any part of frame, suspension or body.

Wouldn't a lowering block actually be a lift block now that the springs are above the axle? I agree, carefully remove the spring pads and move them to the bottom of the axle to put the axle above the springs again.

I think its a good starting point but, as others have mentioned you need to unchannel the body by about 4-8 inches. As it sits it looks like there could be scrub line issues. On the grill, just find something you like the looks of and maybe fan your own to your dimensions to keep proportions in...

Looks like about a 1928 http://www.patpowell.com/1928_sterling.htm 1928Sterling by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr

Yes! And whatever you do, DO NOT accept any offers their insurance makes. As soon as you accept an offer, that will be all she wrote and you'll never get another penny out of them.

I would love those three '41's and that sounds like a pretty dang good deal on em too. Looks like you found a very cool place and a pretty good guy to deal with.

Wow, last time I looked at it it was still at $1,000. Great thing you did for your friend, making them $5,000 more then they would've gotten!

This build just has cool written all over it. Yet another outstanding build from you Bob!
