the more l follow this build the more l like it

what is the piece hanging off the passenger side door?[S

looks like an air filter off a semi-truck.

the firewall blacked out against the yellow cab is a great combo.

If you look back on page 2 under heading (Nothing goes to waste) that is the air intake off the 42 moline. I needed some thing for an air intake for the heater and that is what I came up with. had to cut the side out and make a duct out the side into the cab, works like a charm. glad your liken the build things are starting to fly now. got the cab wiring harnes in that I made from the 79 ford that I got the frame from. hooked up some power (no smoke[cl) hope to get my power plant cleaned up and back in in 2 weeks. hope'n only 1 more month and pull her out on her own power.

Thanks guys. I have been pounding away evey day 4 to 5 hours afterwork and 12 hour on sat & sun for the last 4 weeks. Hoping to be down to glass in about 3 weeks.

Sold 1 of my junkers today got 300 mad monet[cl picked up the rest of my tractor drag links for the back. Most of my 4 link is in just have 2 more peices to cut then air bag mounts and shocks.

[Sam_Fear]

[GJunktionMike]

Gotta love that "Mad Monet' "

[P[P[P

"Money" can't spell for some reason to day, got rat on the brain something about 300 "mad monet".

 

[GJunktionMike]

That's sure a good looking truck!

Thank been burning the midnigt oil

Betcha can't wait to drive her, 'eh?

I can't my neigbors can, my 49 only makes a lot of noise and a little burnout, the 65 mopar 273 hi-pro w/4speed (cuda) should pack a little more punch

Like the lights.

Thanks, had my boy draw the skull, gives him a little pride adding something to the build.

4 link done, just need bags and shock mounts and the bed will be going back on

 

[GJunktionMike]

I have a rearend

Just have a few thing to finish up but bed should be going back on next week end[cl

 

[Bonehead]

Looking good, you could also put a shock mount on your lower link arm , and it would work and not be sticking out the back like that. Just a thought.

Why didn't I think of that. I wonder for a week on how to mount the shock and ended with this. I will remember that next time. Thanks

 

[GJunktionMike]

Well t-day marks the one year point, hope to be back on it next week
