Rob,I like those early`30s.Hey Wes,my eyes aren`t so good,but I saw something that I took for louvers in that area.Who knows,maybe a reflection.I just figured louvers.Those body mods take a trained eye.I know that grille was unique.I like the truck.
Dan,sorry,I have another picture to mess your plan up more:

There must have been a steel shortage,so they were forced to use wood on these:

Special-K, Can you post a larger picture of the green/black panel from the rear? It came out tiny and the one from the front came out large earlier. Man, I am liking so many of the pictures I am seeing here. They better make this thread a sticky.

Wes,
Thanks for the help, I will contact him. I plan on starting to cut this weekend so the more information the better. Todd

That green one is beautiful!! It really must be nice, my wife even nodded in approval. And she doesn't care much for panels. :metal:

Dan,I`m afraid that`s the best I can do.I was nabbing pictures wholesale from socalcarculture.com and stopped clicking each one to save time (a good while back) and didn`t realize it mattered until too late.I have all kinds of too smallpictures and am frustrated over it...ARGH!!

Here`s a pre-47 for ya:

A few more I've collected that made an impression.

I keep thinking about what color/wheels mine will eventually have...I' pretty sure I'm keping my steelies but will also have a set of 60's cast gray cxentered Torque Thrusts too for when I am feeling more hotrod-ish than stock-ish.

But it'll be a long time. My daughter is getting married this year...so you know where all my cash is going. I keep coming back to black but I'm really not sure that's the right color. I also like the era-correct solid bright colors too.

I tell you,there are just too many choices to make,what style,color,wheels,era...I`d have to have a dozen to start to come close to covering what I like.

Rob,I`ve had all those awhile.Love`em,huh?Metoo!They`d be right at home in the Smokies.I believe I got them (seperately) off Ebay,IIRC.I used to go there and nab alot of pics.These are an inspiration.Those military trucks can run huge tires and it`s just a bolt-on deal.

I love that semi wheel conversion. Very well done. I would love to set an old tow truck up like that one day. Just flat out cool!!! Or a fire truck like Dan's. :thumbs:
Like this one.

ME TOO! How cool would the early iron hauling cars be?Just a canvas for cool door art,too.There`s something super nostalgic about an old wrecker from any year.That`s why I wanted my`71.Nice pickups are great,but to roll in with a wrecker...now that`s just too cool.
That`s a sweet one there.

Here`s a different twist you don`t see .It was built this way in the day.I believe it`s Austrailian:
