i started out with the front of a 27 dodge sedan that was cut off at the b piller...a friend said he uncovered them when he was logging off his dads property
i went back later with a generator,sawsall,and 200 feet of extention cord and cut the last 2 feet off another sedan that was in the same area
looking around somemore i found 2 back doors for the 27
i found the winshield frame too...it was pretty wadded up...but i was gonna chop it anyway so it was workable. I used the back doors on the opposite side front door openings and filled in the fender cutouts to complete the look.I chopped the cab 3 1/2 in the back and 4 inches in the front...and cut the doors and the windshield all down to fit
Than i took the back half of the sedan and fitted it behind the b pillers...it was wider..so i had to use ratchet straps to suck it in...once in and where wanted it i tacked it to the b pillers and cut the extra metal off....and bent some 1/2 by 1/2 box tubeing to reinforce the top and attach it to the back of the b pillers
my frame is 2x3 box steel z'd in the front and back.i used a 36 ford frontend with 46 hubs for the juice brakes..a dana 44 rearend with a mono spring ...15 inch wide whites on the front and 16's on the back i,ll take some fresh pics tomarrow with the body on the frame.before i start fabricateing the pickup box on it...
