I guess if you are set on having a vette/race car setup it might be hard to find a proper fit. If you are mostly interested in a good reliable road tripper though, you could always go to an S10 chassis and swap in an LS motor. They have decent suspension with loads of off the shelf cheep bolt...

I measured my cab. The dash is 43" across and the front of the firewall is only 37. I think windening a cab like that as much as you would need to do would not really be realistic. Also, I think that only widening the front which would remove the taper would make the cab look odd because it...

Man those seats look great! The art too. I'd be taking off for a track day too if I had the chance to go hang out and help a car like that run!

Grinding, grinding, grinding....

I'll try to remember to measure the fire wall on my 36 Ford cab. I measured for a set of seats that I wanted and at the point where the front edge of the seats would sit, the cab was 46" wide inside the doors. It narrows down by at least a few inches from there too. I'm going to guess that...

Wow, that really did shorten her up! Looking good so far. If it were mine, I would leave it a little longer and chop it, but that's me so irrelevant to your build. I'm 6'2" so I understand the space requirements;)

Making progress! It's lookin good. Keep the momentum up and you might get it on the road by the end of the summer[cl

I just had to say how impressive your build is! I've been watching it for a long time but haven't posted so I figured I should. The attention to detail is above and beyond! I hope you get to drive the hell out of it this summer:[ddd[cl

Mac, thanks!!!! That's what I was looking for. I thought that was how they go on but that confirms it. There is a notch on the garnish on one end and a flare on the other. Looks like the notch goes up with the flare on the bottom. Man it's great that you have the same truck but all put...

Thanks! I do still have the screw holes in my pillars so that's good. Can you take a pic in that exact same direction but with the garnishes either on or just held in place so that I can see how that flange on the garnish sits in the opening? Having these pics really helps me sort out how...

Great place to start!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it. I want to do one as a four door someday with a back seat for the kid:). Keep the pics coming!

Thanks! On mine, there's a lip that looks like it should end up between the windshield frame and the a-pillar if that makes sense. So the lip would basically cover the terrible factory "joint" that I posted a pic of and wrap around the inside of the pillar with the edge near the door opening...

I sure do like your truck too! Good find on the bent axle! That would have been hard to run down if someone hadn't pointed out the slight wobble to the wheel!

Hey Mac, I was wondering if you could post a pic of how the pillar garnishes get installed. I have them and I was looking at them but I can't remember how they went on. With the chop, of coarse they don't fit any more so it makes it harder to figure out so that I can modify them. I think I...

I finished up the passenger side A-pillar. Man, it's tricky grinding in those heavily contoured corners of the window and door openings! I think I'm mostly happy with the way it came out. I have to remind myself now and then that most guys will skim with a little filler (or a lot, as there...

Looks great so far. That rear subframe is killer! I was wondering why only 1.5" square tube for the main rails though? Are you planning to add structure to that? Just seems way to small for the main chassis rails if they are it...[S

Great news for the most part!!! All of the things on their list are super easy fixes at least! It's totally retarded to have to put reflectors and a gear indicator on it but if that's what it takes, I guess you gotta do it (even if the quality of the additions is slightly shoddy and they...

I agree with Smallfoot. Seems like you didn't really realize that these old trucks were made for haulin crap around farms not highway cruzin and a 1 ton (I think I remember right that you said it's a 1 ton) long box is a seriously big "pickup". Not sure why you went the restoration route with...

Thanks for the compliments, they sure help to keep the motivation up! I worked on that little area around the end of the drip rail last night and I think I'm pretty happy with the way it's looking. Gotta weld it up, grind it out, and move on :) The gaps in the pics look a little different...

Lookin good. Any particular reason you put your tank at the back of the bed rather than the front?
