[junkmagnet]

just got this one, and its a pretty good start. working a deal on a 310 buick wildcat motor... will keep you posted...

[Bonehead]

It is a great start. Looks a little like mine.

A great start! Good luck with the wildcat. Keep us posted, please.

welcome junk, half way there

Great start! I like the stance, and it does kinda look like the beginning of a Bonehead truck, lol.

got the truck from a guy in richmond, ky. we spent the better part of a day digging it out of his garage, i got a 86 vette rearend and a set of chrome fenderwell sidepipe headers for a smallblock ford. all for $1000.00, the truck also came with a really nice 39 ford radiator and shell.....

 

[junkmagnet]

thanks bonehead, i could only hope it turns out half as good as yours. that ride is really cool.... i followed your thread, it turned out awesome!!

I remember seeing that on Louisville craigslist. glad to see it went to some one who is going to finish it. looking forward to some more pics.

Thought long & hard about picking that one up. Got enough stuff to haul south when I move in a couple years. Glad to see it went to someone that will do it justice.

SCORE, picked up the wildcat motor today, now i need a powerglide

 

[junkmagnet]

[junkmagnet]

[junkmagnet]

[junkmagnet]

some before pictures

heres a few pictures of the stuff ive got together for the build, the rearend in the truck now is coming out, and im putting a c4 vette rear in it. will send more pics as soon as i start tearing down

 

[junkmagnet]

heres some more shots, what a mess on the rearend, notice the tractor top links used for a four link

 

[ratterman]

I like the parts stash. I've been gathering up more and more stuff to start my build as well and just bought a 41 ford cab to replace the F1 cab i was going to use. I don't know about you but I'm having a blast just finding the parts to start my build, can't wait to actually drive the thing.

How much is your cab chopped by the way?

 

[rockb1]

Great looking parts. I like the corvette rear end, that is gonna be sweet.
Hey is that a horse show holding up the steering column?

 

[junkmagnet]

sure is a horse shoe, its kinda kool but it probably wont stay.

 

[junkmagnet]

not really sure on the chop, looks to be about 5". it was done by someone else. i agree half the fun is finding parts, its really hard to find any performance parts for a 300 buick, might have to go to a smallblock ford instead..
