quick and dirty

[oldskool]

ok, got the cab on the chassis...no really,I mean its just sitting on the chassis. Got that done last week before the weekend as I wanted, but life is getting in the way momentarly. I'll get back to it pretty "quick".

got the cab moved foward today and "placed" the front clip on. The front clip is sitting on the frame rails currently so that will have to be solved(gives it that "nose up" look right now.Maybe I can sneak some time in on it in the morning

It's been a little while since I last posted something on this shop truck. I have been busy(if your shop is a little slow, start working on your stuff and see what happens!!!). Anyhow I did manage to get the steering column mounted and the pedal assembly from the donor(I managed to keep the power brakes and power steerring...the steering column almost looks factory! kinda proud of that one). So tonite I got to sneak in a few minutes before closing the shop and got the old 300 six fired up!! Super excited about that....no smoke and no knocks! It was like on those "reality" shows were they turn the key and it fires up first try, That dont happen for me often!, it kinda scared me!

Been awhile since I have updated this thread.....been a awhile since I was able to done much to the '48. I have installed a speedway wireharness,and fuel tank/lines since my last post. Today Myself and HRP got the cab mounts welded and a new heater core installed(blower motor still works..so why not have a heater?). It's a fine day when your build can fire up from the cab and you can move it in and out of the shop under it's own power. The next time I get to work on it the front clip will be going back on (with the working factory horn!)
