Thanks to all, this is the second full blown ground up project like this I have done. I built a bunch of 60's ans early 70's Muscle cars over the years but this is more fun than anything I have ever done. Believe me, its a learning process!!

I agree! my build is my first major build and there is so much to learn but Im having a great time with it.

Man that is a good looking truck, great work! whats the wheel base on the truck, i think the stance is just right. I really like the wood for the floor, cool idea and should help on the road noise.. not that you will hear it over the engine!

 

[rockb1]

WOW. man your truck looks great. Its gonna be sweet to see the back tires burnin off of it.

 

[Toast]

Thanks guys! I think the wheel base is 108" I do have to rais the rear an inch or so cause the tires will hit the bed

You mind telling me about the friction shock set up? You like them as far as the ride? They look like MacsRatz friction shocks. Yes? No?

Thanks,

Don't know how the shocks will work, haven't had it running yet. I think they will be fine since I can adjust tension and angle. They are not from Mac's Rats, I got them from a guy in Canada a couple of years ago.

Thanks

WOW! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I have built a few cars and trucks, but this has to be my favorite of all time. I just hope it runs and drives good

Thanks again to all!

Cool truck. I love the look of the front end with those shocks. Very cool.

 

[FresnoRatRod]

I love how you did the bed on that, great job.

now for some video of it running, once that time comes.

 

[Toast]

No video of it running yet but I did push it out side and take some pics of it before running the brake lines

 

[Toast]

Got my Plexiglass in and cut in the back window! The doors will get the same stuff!

 

[Gastrick]

Looks great outside Toast. One of my favorite trucks.
