Amazing people will trust me [S another parts pile showed up to day. I will be on this one start to finish. No over the top anything on this one, just plain jane salt flat style.

Thanks Guys

Going to be hard not to stray off course, seems to be a hard task for me. Traditional is not part of my vocabulary. So the start pile is a T frame, 37/41 axles, 32 cab and haven't pinpointed the flattie year yet but does have aluminum heads and intake (factory?) Frame is cleaned up, going 3" z on the front, split bones and transverse spring. Quarter elliptical on the rear.

Just keep watching those Bonneville videos on youtube and you'll get there.

Looks like a fun build! [P

How many head studs does the flat head have Mike. I'm thinking 21?
If it is an early enough one some of them did come with stock aluminum heads. I also believe that Canadian heads were aluminum.
This link may help you.

Teaser

Torchie thanks for the link, think I have it narrowed down.

Not much, but not slacking [

 

[GJunktionMike]

A quick check to make sure everything lines up.

Lookin' good so far [P

Definitely a pile of parts worth putting together. That is an A frame though, not T. The factory aluminum heads point to early 21-stud. Looking good so far...

Looks like it's coming along as planned.......nice work[cl

Yep BED, model A frame for sure.

Well after mocking up the engine, the steering box, cross steer link, front end and grill I found out real quick that I have 10 pounds of stuff going into a 5 pound bucket.
