Good looking build!! I like what you've done with it. The stance is perfect even without a chop. I don't want to chop my 51 either. I also like the fact that you altered the dash to a one piece flat panel. I'm also thinking about something similar for my truck.

This is a great build! I love the wood work on the inside! I can't wait to see how you blend the channel in the back into the floor.

Way to go on making your own grill--it's always best to do it yourself.

What did you put on the metal for an overnight rusting? I've heard hydrogen peroxide...

 

[Mad-Fabber]

I got a little work done behind the cab

 

[Mad-Fabber]

found some massive headlights at the Redneck Rumble
the swap meet was awsome

check out the fuzzy tire
this happened in the shop
the tire just started coming apart

 

[FlatBroke]

Pretty cool project Mad fabber.
I like a lot of your ideas.

 

[Mad-Fabber]

Well its a new build season and i thought I was gonna get started on the 48.
Then I started to notice a sad looking truck staring at me on my way to and from work.
So i had to give it a good home . The windsheild had 750 and runs wrote on it. After talking with the owner , 500 bought the truck and 45 got it delivered.

 

[Mad-Fabber]

So now i have a running 292 and a 4 speed and an old cab in pretty good condition, you know heat , glass . and a tank behind the seat. Not to mention a 48 cab sitting on a frame that kinda looks to beefy . So lets put them together and see what happens.....


step 1 ( build and then ) set up A-frame

step 2 hook up cab and remove

step 3 undo whats already been done

step 4 cab swap and this is what I have so far

 

[bob w]

Yes!!! Nice bit of engineering and construction, getting that cab off.[cl

 

[Lars Larsen]

Wow, I really liked what you were doing with the 48! Started getting ideas for the 49 I just bartered for. Then you go and change it all up on me. Lookin good though!

 

[Mad-Fabber]
