Looks great! I look forward to seeing more progress! Maybe next time I'm down that way I'll give you guys a heads up and come see it in person!

Thanks very much for all the kind words, friends! And thanks for the link there, Shea! thats the idea- get it going ASAP. then upgrade as i go. I should be picking up the truck in the next week or two (its out of town) so ill have updates very soon! -Andrew

Thanks for the insight fellas! I don't have any experience with frames yet, but I reckon there's only one way to learn. :) The main concern that jump to mind is getting the steering components working together. IIRC the gearbox is forward of the front axle and I don't know about the Camaro...

Well, my uncle just simply doesn't have the time and/or will power to do anything with this truck, so he's just giving it to me! sweet deal! He has all of the papers and title and all. It's originally from Washington, but I'm impressed at the overall good condition and lack or rust! This is...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

lol! :p This rod is coming along awesome. I could look at you're fab all day. I'm really looking forward to the "final" product! -Andrew

looking good so far, man! i look forward to seeing the rest of it! and thanks, Gastrick, for the clamp info.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm so curious what the name of these clamps are? Truck is looking SICK. What an awesome profile!

Wow that looks tuff! Can't wait to see this one progress

Good to know, thanks guys. All I'm interested in is the cab, and it didn't seem to have much rot on it. so we'll see if he'll part with it. I'd love to run a dually setup too... so maybe I can get the whole shebang from the guy! we'll see. he's about 1.5 hrs away so I have to plan my trips wisely :)

Oh and heres a old mechanic's personal parts yard. Needless to say I've recently befriended this guy :D He isn't looking to sell anything right now, but he's "always starting/givingup/finishing projects that can be sold to ya"... so I'm keeping in touch with him. :) Edit: And Oh, that 1st pic...

In my everlong search for a cab to use... My bro'n'law and I came across this puppy. Can someone help ID the year? early 40's? I don't have the 'eye' for it yet... I have a bad feeling about it, but hopefully the owner will part with it. it's been sitting in the woods for over 15 years, and just...

Your experience really shows in the quality and time it took to complete!! Very pretty 'rod! -Andrew

Yeah. Placing the cab over the rear wheels. Just something different! (wayyyy different) :)

I saw this today but it's a little too beat up for me. (looked like a different truck from afar in the bushes) And had a cool idea of mounting the cab on the rear wheels... I wanna know if it's been done (I mean, I'm sure it HAS, but if you guys know of any!? :D) I'll attach a quick MSPaint...

^ that sucks to hear, Don! I can relate to situations like that around here, too. Not with our steel supplier, but other places. People are stupid. :)

Thanks for the imput guys! Hillbilly, I'm planning on getting a full 20' section. I can haul it fine. I'm not really "friends" with this steel supplier, but it is a small outfit, and very personality-based-service... So I put on my thickest southern accent and talk about chewin' tobacco and deer...

cool bananas! Looks like a good start. Could you post up pics/links of your previous projects?

I was at my local supplier and asked him about frame material. I wanted to know about 2x3 and 2x4. His prices are $6.xx and $7.xx (respectively) per foot. So about $120 /$150 per 20' section. Does that sound about right?

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm really liking your build! Everything is coming together very well, even if it is one of your first's. :)
