few pics from today.got the motor and tranny back on the chassie.made another parts list.

[CURSED GEARS]

Pretty cool build. Kind of makes me wish I had fenders on mine. Mine started out as just a cab though.

[CHIZZLER]

got the metal bed strips from mar-k today.used some 1x12 early 1900's barn wood i had to use on the bed floor.turned out pretty good i think.chizzler

[duallyjams]

Where did you get the barn wood from , I've been looking for some to do the bed also.

[CHIZZLER]

if you were closer i would offer some up.i scored about 1400 linear feet from a guy that had it stored for 20 years.i paid less than a $1 per foot.he was 2 miles from my house.

[CHIZZLER]

got the wnidshield glass and new seals in and put it back on the cab.also got the back glass in.

looks great. Is there some trick to getting the windshield frame apart to put the glass in? I pulled all the screws and soaked it with PB rust and it still wont come apart. Your back glass looks great with the diecast on there

[CHIZZLER]

we had to drill all the screws out and just pull the ends back and forth and use some penetrating oil.it took a bit to get it loose.we had the new glass cut locally and got all the seals at chevs of the 40s.everything fit pretty good.

[CHIZZLER]

few update pics.boss got the firewall and dash painted.put the dash all back together and put it back in the cab.put the side glass back in the doors.set the cab back on the frame.we used lime green flake on the firewall and dash.

[CHIZZLER]

something else i was working on was making the bed floor filler panel look a little more rusty.before and after.

[Scottshotrods]

It is getting there !!!!
