I'm loving that steering wheel [dr ...exactly what I had in mind for my truck! [;)[P

That's one reason I don't want to keep the hood...once the cab's chopped and the bed is bobbed the hood might look out of place. On the flip side, keeping the hood would mean the modern engine is a little more discrete. We'll see, for now it's staying on and I'll make up my mind after we make a...

That's been today's debate...hood or no hood. Hubs says keep it and I'm not sold on the idea. And, I came up with a plan for the stock grille today too...if I decide to use it. I still love the look of a '33-34 Ford Coupe grille but they're soooo overplayed...so I hesitate on that one (oh, and...

Thanks for the kind words guys :D Thanks for the link...very cool! First 3 of my VIN are 3HP so looks like it is a '50...and was built in St Louis Oh, and I've had Donuts1's build saved in my favorites for awhile...an inspiration, for sure Nah, sorry, already took half of it off today and...

And a few problem spots... - both cab corners are rusted out - driver's cowl and door are pretty banged up and a little rusted out along the bottom - there are several rust holes around the cowl vent (assuming that's what it's called...in front of the windshield) - passenger side cowl (where it...

I'm back and finally got a project to work on! We picked up this '50 (or so I've been told...how do I confirm the year?) Chevy 3100 3-window truck. It's not the cleanest but I'm happy with the deal we got (talked him down to $500) Future plans (so far...I'm sure I'll change my mind on some...

How old is your grand daughter? I do agree that you should get out of your ticket, no problem. Growing up here in Arkansas, both my parents had "pre seat belt" vehicles that they drove occasionally and were never ticketed for us not being belted...but that was in the early 90's. I seriously...

Mean old wives :D j/k! My husband has a job that requires him to drive 200-300 miles a day so he's the one who normally comes across the "field finds" and knocks on random doors. Got any pics of the 51 GMC?

PM sent! Great info, Thanks! If I decide it's the one I want, I'm going to offer him $200-250 for the truck with doors and a box and we'll go from there. I might even pass on the box (depending on what he has) if he'll do the lower price. I can always find one later...I just want a running...

It very well could be a previous model...I have no clue so I'm just going off what the owner said it was. :confused: Yes, the Ford is pretty much complete from what I can remember and I don't plan on running any fenders or hood...so, that is another plus for the Ford. It's a few hours away...

Seems like there are more Fords around here in good condition and that's what you see at a lot of the shows, so that's why I'm considering a Chevy...and I'm more of a Chevy girl ;) But the Ford, unless I can talk the Chevy guy way down, is the better deal. I think I'll go check out the Ford one...

I was headed back from my grandparents today and came across a few Chevy trucks on the side of the road for sale. I had some time to kill so I stopped in and got some info from the owner. He's about got me sold on this truck: The passenger corner is solid, but the drivers corner is rusted...

Love it! Too bad if I did come across one of those here it would be WAY outta my price range

I was wondering the same thing myself so I ask my husband (knows of lexan through racing background) He says lexan is just a type of plexi and will scratch and haze but it's more shatter resistant than plexi. He recommends going for the glass unless you're just looking for a temporary solution...

Haha...sounds like my driveway I can't believe how good he's been so far. He catches on quickly and has a very sweet nature.
