ok gonna cut it up

[pablo]

I have learned that the 67 ford bump side that i pulled the 390 out of for my project is not worth any thing, so i am going to butcher it. i got the inspiration from March rod and custom.

only the problem, is now i need an engine for my doner truck LOL

ill post some picks

A 300 cube 6 cyl would allow the nose to be narrower,
and provide decent power.

I have that issue and thought that rpu version was just sick! Bad a$$ man keep us posted on your progress.

Hows the other one comming along? I rememebr you had done a really nice chop on it.

i am mounting the engine and building the cross members right now. i have been taking pictures, but they are on my friends camera and he has not e mailed them to me.

Your truck turned out really cool. I wish that i would have gotten mine done as quickly as you did yours. i do not think mine will be done this year either, i am building a 30- by 50 shop. can not afford to hire some one to build it so i will be doing it all my self.

i agree, a 300 six would be sweet. i would like to find a newer one that has the fuel injection. nothing sounds sweeter then a well tuned six with duals.

I have that issue too and it will be cool to actually see someone building it.

You have a lot of good parts there, tailgate, rear slider ect. I think you would want a steel grille so you can work with it a little easier.

hmmmmmm

Gee.. that looks familiar. Is that the current issue of Rod & Custom? March 2008?

yup

yup 440 that is correct. i think that it might have been a previous issue as well. i remeber an issue where they did a bunch of unlikly doner trucks. i am doing this one casue i have it and... well i just have it. and i want to cut some thing up. i might just turn it into a roller and see if i can sell it. i am just feeling the ich to create something new. i have a pretty short attention span, and i pretty much have my current truck planned out so the creation portion is over and now the dong portion is in play.

also if any of you guys have idea for this truck, throw them at me, i am thinking about video tapoing the build and doing a time lapse video. my buddy ahs a security camera at his palce that records the shop area and saves the content to the hard drive of his CPU thinking i will just hop on his CPU and down load the work portions on a cd and when i am all done slice them together a nd time lapse the whole thing. i will keep u guys posted.

Pablo,
I loved those concept drawings in that issue of rod & custom, I say go for it.
You will end up with one cool ride, a buddy of mine is looking for a 47-53 chevy cab, they did one of those too.
