I've been looking at these deteriorate for 40 years. Wish they were mine.

This is going to be great! I like the fact you don't feel it needs chopped.

Never had any problems with the line pressure switches I reckon it's feasible though..........Copper lines ......that's funny!

I have been lazy about updating but I have a couple things to report on. I decided to install rear disc brakes but had to give up on the idea when too many issues arouse. These disc brakes were from an older pre- 92 Camaro ones that are 10" and I would of needed to turn the axle flanges down in...

I got the steering shaft hooked up to the rack. I still need to finish up some but it steers at this point. You can see the front brake hose also in this photo. I added this brace to the frame to hold the column in place. I have a rubber bushing to add at the firewall yet. Here is a...

From one fenderless GMC owner to another .....OUTSTANDING!

I thought I would show a few pictures of what I've been up to. In order to get the cab to set on the chassis I had to cut the drive shaft tunnel so that I could get the cab mounts sorted out. I'll have to form some sheet metal and weld it in place. I have access a slip roll and might use it...

Today was a pretty good day in general. With the help of this skid and my truck I was able to drag the 1940 cab in front of my garage. Once there I decided to use my ZTR lawn mower to drag the whole thing into my shop. Using the cherry picker and a 2x8 under the roof I jacked the cab up high...

I have been looking forward to this photo. I picked these headers up last year from the swap meet for 50 bucks. They are new and designed for a NCRA late model They are stepped tube headers. I think I can make them work. Although they might get a little close to the cab.The heads in the...

After evicting the rat who made the oil pan on this motor his home, I tore it down and bolted it to my 5 speed for a engine / transmission mount mock up. I think this is approximately where it will end up. It should sport an approximate 35" drive shaft. The transmission is out of a 98 S-10...

I guess I neglected to mention that quite a bit of the framing lumber came from a garage that 62chevyII tore down in order to build his Garage-Mahal. LOL! I was unemployed for a while so I had a ton of time to pull nails. I think the better story was while pulling all that lumber home on a...

The shop is only about 12 years old. I sided it with materials from a barn I recycled. I used as much recycled materials as I could come up with. I would guess it is about 50% used stuff. Even the footing on 3 sides was already there from another old barn. There was a 35' tree growing in the...

As promised I have some roll out photos for you. Here is a look at my lovely assistants Emily and Alexis. Checking the turning radius A good look at my new front bar. Thanks for looking!

Allrighty then! I just got finished up with the Sun Flower swap meet in Park City Kansas. It's a 2 day indoor event that has been going on for 40+ years. I was able to meet several of my needs for this project plus some other items. I also got rid of quite a bit of stuff I didn't need to boot...

Panhard bar, or diagonal link photo. This at maximum ride height at my theoretical ride height link is level with the axle. Got some welding to do and getting ready for the swap meet so I might be quite for a while. Thanks for looking.

More shocking revelations! Here I am checking shock travel at it's minimum. It looks closer than it actually is. I might add bumpers on the bat wing that touch at the same time as the shock bumpers do. Here it is at the maximum travel. I'm hoping it will come up higher than my 53 when under...

I got a little bit done on the front axle this weekend with all my other chores. I got the bat wings pretty much done and tacked to the bottom plates. I also cut the chrome moly and tacked the bungs in. Next up the upper shock mounts. It won't be too long and I'll have a roller...

I picked up this 42 Chevy on a 46 1/2 tom chassis with a Studebaker bed today. It's what you don't see in this photo that's remarkable I like this dash! Dig those Cragars! This is the 40 GMC I picked up last summer. I'm officially cab poor at this point. This GMC is really nice...

I'm finding that DOM tubing is harder to get and going to cost more than anticipated, plus the cost of buying a Left hand 5/8-18 tap. So I have come up with a new plan. PVC plastic pipe is the way of the future! I don't even need a tap just screw it in! Well actually this is a great way to...

I got the radius rod attach holes drilled. I drilled them out to 11/16" then pushed some some 2" pieces 1/2" black pipe into them and welded them up. After grinding them flush I reamed them with a 1/2" reamer. Here are the rods ends I picked up from Speedway. These are 7 degree. I still need...
