are you going to use the stock frame or swap it? i have seen these types of truck going for less than $500 but seem to be rather large and i wouldnt know where to start on it

those trucks were much larger bodied werent they?

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm so curious what the name of these clamps are?

Truck is looking SICK. What an awesome profile!

Thanks

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Everyone I talked to said I was crazy to chop it that much. I have found a lot of little things that I will list to help anyone who is interesed in doing the same. I have been posting another build that a buddy and I are doing his is chopped 6in and looks wicked also. I am going to build my own chassis this time, I hope to start that in a couple of weeks. I will post some pics of how I am finishing the top.

They are sheet metal or butt welding clamps. You can find them at Eastwood, Harbor Freight, etc. Here's some on Ebay............

Well I made some progress today, I got the windshield post fitted and welded. I need to cut the top again and move it back to match the lower part of the cab. I hope to cut and fit the doors soon. S*******t ran out of gas for my welder today.

Wheels

I picked up some 1932 18 inch Ford wheels today. Moched them up in front of the cab. Also got a little farther on my chop. Not going to paint the body this time going bare steel. Well here is some more pics.

I love the look with those wheels and hood. Nice chop. Nice job everywhere.

Thanks

Its nice to hear that you like it. I have looked at yours and willmceliece, both are very good builds. I hope to finish the chop in a couple of weeks and then start on the frame. Ihave got a 40 front solid axel, 9 inch rear. Looking to find a big block to put in it.
