Whew, those sure are purdy. Very nice choice!

Fantastic job, the old girl looks great. Its funny how people don't realize how many companies produced trucks back in the day, like Mercury Plymouth and others buy they are some sharp looking trucks. Great job!

Ha that's funny. My first car I bought was a '75 4 door Nova and I was told it had a Corvette motor in it. I didn't think anything of it since it was just a Chevy and had a 2 barrel carb, but ran the numbers and it turned out to be a LT1 4 bolt main that could've came from a Corvette lol.

Very nice looking truck. I'm building one very similar using a '42 Chevy cab. If you go to goodguys maybe I'll see ya there. Do you hit any of the local cruise in's?

On the pressure washer I had there was a small hose for a pressure bypass when it was running but you weren't squeezing the handle, maybe that's what it is?

This might help with the soap dispensing. http://www.shopyourway.com/m/questions/1177259

Try searching "pressure washer pump oil" instead of power. Should come up with a bunch of helpful results.

From what I've read you should only run a 4 link with tube front axles, but I'm sure someone with real experience will give you a better answer.

I thought it might be a caddy v12 but all the pics I found online had stamped rocker covers. Very cool!

I'm not sure either, but it looks like it has more then 8 leads coming off the distributor cap to me.

That's a good link. Also look into a bonded title, that's what the court house told me would be the easiest and probably cheapest method.

Awesome! I like the knobs and they have meaning behind them which just makes em better!

My dad said he watched this the other day. He was saying most the builds were crappy looking rusted out junk ( read the typical stereotype for rat rod anymore) and there was one build that was done extremely well and even painted up. The guys on the show were giving the guy with the painted up...

I like the idea. If I was you I'd look into the square backs as well, they're usually cheaper. I think any VW would work and make a cool project though.

What size amp is pushing your subs? And are you running a cap on the amp? I've had this problem in newer vehicles and its usually a bad ground or just too much amp for the charging system.

What are the abandoned vehicle laws in the state where the car is. That might be worth looking into since you've owned it for so long. Otherwise I'd go with what Tripper suggests.

I don't know if you have it in Canada lol, but "Heat" or seafoam or stabil should help out with the ethanol drawing moisture. I run ethanol blend fuel in everything I own except my motorcycle, it only gets 91 octane premium. The build is looking great, don't stray to far from your plan!

That's pretty long lol. My wheelbase will be somewhere around 113-115", not to far off from the original. I bet your truck will ride smooth as silk though.

Doesn't look like a ford cowl to me. The Model T's had a cowl vent and the A's had a gas tank instead. Do you have any side shots of the cowl, to see the body lines?

Are you re-torqueing the intake after it sits a day or after the first run? Just trying to help lol.
