Little update. My new Champion radiator sit's about 1 1/2" higher than my old Walker radiator, so Mark made a new cover today. Still needs to be primed and painted. I had to make new bracket and mounted the overflow tank. Had to move to drivers side, not room where AC compressor is now mounted. Here's a couple pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Very slick. I too had a space issue mounting an overflow tank. I ended up mounting mine under the radiator shroud and attached it to the vertical support of the grill. It's not the most convenient location to access but you never really need to access it once your all set up.
Mark does great metal work. Marc |

Just a little work done today. Mark cut 1" out of the radiator cover. I put on some light filler and sanded. Mark sprayed the primer. Will sand and paint tomorrow...Jim

Hey everyone, little update, nothing major. Got the radiator cover painted last Tuesday 12/14 (pic 1) didn't do anything for several days.
Pic 2 &3 Today it was wet sanded with 1,000, 3000, 5000 then buffed out. Pic 4 AC lines and fittings all lined up, will remove and crimp fittings. Still no shifter, now told in may ship the 2nd week of Jan, 2022. Merry Christmas to everyone, enjoy...Jim |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Merry Christmas Jim, looks good!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Nice work Jim. And Merry Christmas to you too.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looking really good Jim. You will be like a kid waiting for Christmas except you will be waiting for a shifter.

Not much to show today, Mark crimped all the ac lines today, I installed all new "O" rings and tighten everything. Will wait for summer to charge the system.
Now it's just a wait and see...Jim |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
So tell me Jim, What have you got planned to change next on what I always thought was as near to perfect Truck? Atleast in my Opinion! I sure can't see any faults in it.

Hey everyone, little update on the pickup. Talked with Lokar first week in January, told I might get the shifter Mar 11, 2022. I was pissed, so Mark checked around and found the same shifter at Classic Industries. Ordered the shifter, in came in today. Will cancel the other order, wanted this one in hand before I did. Got shifter around 11:00 today, it is in, adjusted, tested. Then we installed the interior back in place. Here's some pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Have to apologize, thought I took pics while doing the work, guess I didn't. Back on page 77 it shows when it was apart and the old shifter on the trans. New one is mounted to the floor, needed that to align with the hole in the console. On yeah, Mark did most of the work, I just helped when needed. It is suppose to be 55 tomorrow and all snow should be gone, if so I will take out for a short shake down run...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looks good Jim! Glad you got it sorted out!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Shifter looks good there! Umm how do you keep your white leather so clean?

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Congrats on Mark finding another supplier, that was a stroke of good luck.
And like Lower50 said, how? That interior is just beautiful! |
