I'm the guy who got the longest time unfinished award at the unfinished nationals several years ago and the truck isn't anywhere close to even being drivable let alone finishe.


The good part about this is he is only out time and maybe the cost of a drill bit but doesn't have to dig way down into the build kitty for something he hadn't planned on. I'd mark and drill one and make sure everything is right on it and then use it as the drill guide for the others. That way the holes are perfectly aligned from sill to sill all the way back.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

yeah, even if he has to mark and drill the first one the rest will go easy. I am one to get sidetracked I started to fix a crack in my dash and ended up building a steering column
