Project idea....

[Bonehead]

You guys know me, tons of projects, and good tin just laying around waiting for me to get to it. Since I had back surgery, I have had trouble just keeping up with work, let alone a real project. I am in the middle of my son's 50 Willys 4X4 now, and it may take a while because I only work on it with him. And since he discovered girls, I am taking a back seat some.

But I think I have settled on a future project. (no I mean it this time).

1930 Chevy Truck cab, 2.5 ton axles, 4x4, on 52 inch rubber. It would combine my interest in rats, 4x4s and my Rock crawling interests as well.

I have a 460/C6 FI motor just waiting for the project.
Since the tires are dot, I could, therotically, make it street legal.

Oh heck yeah, would love to see that done.

Need to tell your son that the 50 willys will get him more girls than no ride. Especially since he will be able to take them places the little boys with cars cant go.

Sounds like a cool project BH. Love the tire beading pic!

Isn't life full of irony? When you're young you put cars aside to chase tail, when you've caught the tail, you want to put it aside to chase cars. No wonder dogs are mans best friend, we have so much in common!

Bonehead that would be a great looking truck! but would it be considered a rat rod?

 

[madman]

HELL YEAH!! That is something I want to see! Get to work!

 

[Sam_Fear]

4x4 rat rod? Who would think of a foolish idea like that?

You and I think alot alike. But I want to go big.

As a wise man once said, " Go big or stay at home !"

Should be fun for you since it has all your vehicular interests involved.

Well not all, it would look funny at the dragstrip.

 

[cycledog]

Ever think of getting a hobby??

 

[hotrod preacher]

I personally think that's just way too much work, and a 4x4/ratrod/rock crawler-are ya nuts!??? i think you should just ship that cab to me!!

I'm sorry if you didn't realize it that was supposed to be smothered in sarcasm--i think it would be AWESOME!! fire up the torch and get started!!


seriously what are you waiting for??..lite the fire!!

Very interesting idea here..
The one thing I know for sure is that it will be awesome....
Does this mean the bus 4X4 is a no go for now... ??? '22

 

[Bonehead]

The big bus idea is out for now. The guy I got it from wanted to Pro Street the bus....hmmmm maybe.

This one is a go. I am in the parts gathering stage now. I still have to finish my son's Willys Pu first. The idea is to go as low as I can, and still clear the 52's. A mild chop is in order as well. The Z in the frame will have to be huge.

OHHH YAA,Let the build begin.
