Re: My 1952 truck.
I have a lot of work to do! I have to finish up the rear of the frame, cut off my fuel filler as I have changed my mind on it, and start brake and fuel hard lines. In the near future I need to remove my running board brackets and clean up the frame, then reinstall the brackets properly. (They were just tacked on at mock up of the truck).

Re: My 1952 truck.
Nice work, you've got some good progress completed....I wish I could say the same on my project. With the snow we got the last couple days hopefully you installed that psi maker on that pro!

Re: My 1952 truck.
Well I managed to get the fuel system fabbed up and also all the brake lines. Put my Lokar filler tube on along with the kickdown cable. Also put in my starter. Went to the swap meet here on Saturday and came home with a transmission pan, and some rear coilovers.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Geez Louise, this power steering pump has been giving me fits. When you mount your body lower on the frame you always pay for it somewhere. I think this combination will work. Waiting on my pulley to show up before I know for sure.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Truck is put together again for the most part so I can finalize things before she starts getting some paint. I have the rear sitting where I want it but the front needs to come down two inches.

Re: My 1952 truck.
There is no interior, hood, grill or bumper yet. I'm thinking that will add close to three hundred pounds. I think one more inch yet. I want the rear of the front fender a pop can high.

Re: My 1952 truck.
I'm happy with that. Once all the parts are on the truck she will be perfect.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Looks pretty cool without the running boards though - it really emphasizes those fat ole fenders.
Great build

Re: My 1952 truck.
Working on running boards. Got them cleaned up and straight. Spent a long time with the shrinking disc today. Ran hoses for hydro boost through fender.

Re: My 1952 truck.
I'm getting sick of welding. Looking forward to body filler. Am I losing my mind?

Re: My 1952 truck.
I need some advice. See that hose on the tank there? I'm thinking of drilling a 1.25" hole straight through there and into the stake pocket. I'm thinking of using one of those small pop up gas fillers. It will sit flush on top of the box rail. I'm wondering if this is possible. Opinions?

Re: My 1952 truck.
Its going to be a great looking truck. Wheels and stance are awesome. I hear you on the welding. You have done a ton of welding on it. I thought I did a lot, but not nearly as much as you. How many spools have you used so far?

Re: My 1952 truck.
I used two spools and three tanks of gas this month. Plus one grinder and about 20 flappers.
