Thanks guys.
The truck is a 36 IHC 2 Ton I got for free from my wife's uncle. We cut 9' of the back of the original frame, Z'ed it 6" and channeled the cab 6". Put a 51 Ford 3/4 front end on the truck with 49 Ford 1/2 ton hubs. Everything so far...free! Got the old Ford spokes for free so that is what I went with. Payed $300 for a doner Chev 78 1/2 ton truck so we used the engine, tranny, rearend, wheels etc. Rad is a 52 Pontiac. Seats are from a MR3 Mazda I think. Fuel tank is from a swather. Bought the Geenie shifter, headlights, headers, windshield and Cokers. Into it for around $ 2800 bucks. Was a fun project.

The picture with my boy was taken before it was totally done. We went for a quick rip to my parents talking and laughing about being the Duke Boys when our 1 gallon jerry had less gas then I remember. So that picture was taken with the mobile phone while we were waiting to get picked up!

You say you're into it for about $2800 but it looks to me like that one trip was worth WAAAAAAY more that that! Man you can't beat times like that with your kid[cl[cl[cl
Welcome to RRR, cool projects for sure!
 
Thanks guys,
My kid is really a hockey freak so it's nice when he has fun with my interests.
If he's not playing hockey, he's playing with all the computer games and ****. So it's good to see him take some interest in other stuff. When there young they take everything in you tell them, as they get older Dad's a fag and knows nothing!! Right?!?

The aircleaner on top of the 36 is a lawnmower filter Maguyvered inside a early headlight bezel.

As far as the car goes, I'm thinking mustang front with a 283 or 327 4-speed. Lowered on air, original Patina, possibly a roof chop.
