My '41 Ford PU build!

[Gastrick]

Nice rear Bob! That looks fantastick. I think you should bring it to the Turkey Run in Daytona so you can check out Don's sun burnt head. Are those Wheel adapters? If so where did you get them?

Rear assembled & disc's on now... gittin' closer to a *roller*!!! Rollers r GOOD... I'm *really* gittin' fired up now!!! Set pinion angle... weld mounts & put on da big tires... sweet!!!

24,
I was wonderin' if anyone would catch that!? That's a 2" spacer to clear the bed frame with the wheels I'm usin'! Good eye!!! My buddy's friend makes 'um... $100 ea. And yep... that's a socket still in there! This disc brake kit also has a e-brake which I will be hookin' up under da dash... hand operated!

Bob, is that the Ford SVO rear disk kit? If so, that's what I used on my Anglia. They work great. I didn't use the e-brake parts though. I gutted those parts and cut the tabs for them off of the brackets.

Bob, is that the Ford SVO rear disk kit?

Yep... must be! They came outta a Ford Motorsports box!

Set that thing on top of the engine and take some more pics.

[Gastrick]

It looks outstanding Bob. You must be pretty excited. I would turn that manifold around though so the front of it is facing forward.

Nothing finer than a Nailhead with a bunch of carbs and nice detailing, except maybe for a Quickie rear end. Your truck is first class all the way. Nice work, Bob

 

[Tripper]

Next!!!

Here's what's next for the truck!!! I'm ordering it tomorrow.

Gotta start with a good foundation..

 

[ratty46pickup]

Man, this is great! I just got thru readin` the thread. I thought about choppin the `ol 46 when I first built it, but I really like the old original glass. I`ve got to tell you though, it`s gettin` real hard to keep from startin` my chop after readin` this thread, I might just have to do it! Lookin GREAT Trip, can`t wait to see more progress!!!

[Reverend Bow]

Wow tripper, that is a hell of a project!

It is looking great so far!

Will you adopt me?

 

[Tripper]

Thanks!

Thanks guys... I hope to make this a driver by Thanksgiving weekend... either Autorama here in H-town or for da Turkey Run on da rat coast with Don, Gastrick & da gang! Still havein' a hard time findin' front fenders! I cry!!!

[donsrods]

Tripper that Buick looks just perfect. Very traditional (oops, am I on the right forum???? ) Nice job.

You gotta come to Turkey Run. First of all, we want to finally meet you, and secondly, Florida isn't a bad place to be in late November.

[Tripper]

Finally... Fenders!!! Yipppeeeeee!!!

Well... I've been searchin' for front fenders for my truck to no avail but after a tip from 24Dodge... I scored! Got both fenders that are not too bad... not too good. Now I can get on with the front of the beast! Thanks 24!!! Also found a cheap alum radiator for it so it's really startin' to take shape... fotos shortly!!!

BoB

 

[Gastrick]

Good deal. That 24dodge can sniff out some parts.

 

[DC*90]

[Tripper]

Yes... finally progress!

Nailhead is comin' together & frame has tubular x-mamber installed. Should go faster now!!!
