Ok guys I'm been doing a lot of reading here and this is my first post so here goes. I put gas in old blue, drove it to work and back while dreaming that one day it will be half as nice as the trucks y'all have!!! I have a 52 5 window that my dad passed tome last year when his back started acting up again. Nothing special just and old inline six with a 4 speed tied on hooked to nova rear. Still got the straight axel in the front. Lots of fun to drive but I want so much more for it. Maybe one day. Just have to say it's some awesome work and trucks on here and I've learned a lot. Thanks to all for sharing!

Drove our 59 Apache to the 40th Annual NASC Nationals at the weekend, held at Ipswich, England - lots of cool trucks to check out, and ideas to "borrow"

Thanks iowaboynca! It's not too bad. I drive it regularly lots of fun. I just want it to have some pep and stop when ya hit the brakes. Not my first oldie but hopefully I'll be able to make a nice driver and sport it up some. Lot of awesome trucks on here and great ideas too. Hopefully I can use some to come up w my own ride.

New front cross member ready to weld up and put in place

Don't you just love welding on new shiny metal!:bann:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Put the driver door back on to check the alignment. Not perfect but good enough for me. Put on the passenger fender and it over lapped the bottom of the door by 1/2". Loosened up the radiator support and inner fender to firewall, gave it a good tug and got all but 1/8" out. Fiddled with it for another hour and could get it where in needs to be, but it "pops" back. I remember straightening up some of the front sheet metal from a previous accident and think I may have "fixed" the previous body guys solutions. Will look at the old demo pictures and see if I can come with a clue. Also need to get the hood on so I don't spend a bunch of time on the fenders and doors only to find the hood won't fit.

Big brown truck delivered all my green glass for the 50.:bann:
Took the parking brakes apart and cleaned everything.
Ran the Lokar lines up in cab and hooked up the floor brake handle.
Looking to find a place to put my spare tire.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Wrestled with the fender/door again. Closer but still having to force it into place which is not good, first bump and everything will shift. think I am going to have to loosen the cab bolts and push the cab back a little as radiator brace and associated metal hung off of it are not moving any more forward. Good news is dog got his second set of stitches out today...

I finally ripped routed stained and sealed my bed. I was able to install it yesterday might be a little to nice for the truck but in time it will blend right in. Still need to counter sink the off set washers and deal with two carriage bolts.
