This truck is awesome!! Great job on it

How hard was it to rebody the '48 body onto the s10 frame?
When I get sick of my chop top original cab this is what I may want to do down the road

In the grand scheme of things, its not all that bad. If I would have made my body mounts a little taller (and then lowered the suspension more) it would have been easier. Tightest real estate is where the steering and radiator fight for the same spot.

I've had this one on the road for a while now and still like it.

First there was the famous Rudy Bobber truck and now the Flipper Truck.

Congratulations, Flipper, you built a good one.

It gets around. I don't care that people post pics of my truck, but I didn't care for them branding my pic.

I went to Coffee and Cars in Germantown TN and saw a really cool lifted version of my truck

Bet I can guess which one got the most looks....

 

[Flipper_1938]

I can't believe I'm even thinking it, but I'm gonna put a for sale sign on it at Frog Follies this weekend and see if somebody will give me enough to build a backyard shop.

I'm sure you're tired of the long drive to work in your Dad's shop.
