I haven't posted anything in a while but the truck is done and with its new owner now. Thing turned out pretty cool I think but the main thing is the owner absolutely loves it which is what its all about. Its a fun little truck that will get him into the hobby and enjoy with his kids and...

Thanks man! I think its comin out really nice!

On the lift getting exhaust Went all the way out back with glasspacks and pencil tips. Turned out really nice and super happy with it. So last weekend was the Fall Color Run put on by the Tin Dusters in Quincy Illinois. I was scrambling last week to get the truck done to take up...

Couldnt take it anymore so I mounted the wheels and put the spider caps on. I just had to see how it looked. Guess how many times I got asked "why did he want blue tires?" Haha. Also put some bleach on the cab where the new sheet metal was to blend it all in. Mounted the rear turn/brake...

Got the wheels powdercoated and tires mounted. The owner wanted fire engine red wheels, and they are RED! Had old engine parts laying around and cut up this connecting rod and used the bearings as spacers. Just put a small tack weld on the backside to hold the bearings in. Turned out nice...

Pulled the truck out one day just to get some quick pictures with the cab mounted and bed ready to get done next. Since the gentelman I am building this for is a Vietnam vet and is a left leg amputee I went with the quick detach column from Speedway. Cheap and does the job for him getting in...

Haven't done an update in quite a while so heres some pics. Put these 16" donuts on to get the other wheels powdercoated and thought..........hmmmmm those might look kinda cool! So we went this route and got some really nice 195/80-16's from Diamondback with road hazard. They look really good...

Just an update on where I am at with the truck. Built the frame and the floor, tried my hand for the first time with bead rolling and learned alot. Filled in the rear panel that was all rotted out and cut about 30 pounds of metal out from the rear brace. The body is ALOT more solid now. Finished...

Decided to keep it and been workin on it quite alot lately. I'll have this thing running soon. Sectioned the grill, cut about five inches off the bottom of the cab, cut like 3 1/2 feet out of the bed, been patching up some massive cancer on the back of the cab, got most of the frame for the...

Well, it may not look all that great by next week, but I just wanna drive it down to the show. I hope I can make it in time. Still gotta finish the top of the doors, put some lexan in, wire it, make the zoomies, mount a battery, mount the steering colum, mount the brake pedal and throw a seat...

Windshield frame is pretty much good. Ok so thats all I have for now. Have some zoomie headers on order that should be here soon ($120 including baffles) and picked up a high rise tunnel ram for $200 on Craigslist. I dont think I will have time to do the channel but it WILL be done sometime...

Found these 15x5 wheels and tires off of a 49 Chevy truck with the hubcaps and tires for $100 on Craigslist. Heres a 55 Chevy I believe truck bed I picked up for $200 at a swap meet. Gonna take the fenders off and probably cut like 3 feet out of the center and narrow it about 6 inches. This...
