Just another old truck.

[Clarance J]

Hello. New to this project and build forum. I guess theres only one way to get started and thats to jump right in. My name is Earl and my build is 55 1/2 ton. The trucks name is Clarance J. Whiskeybottle. All our trucks have names don"t they? Thats a little too much to say so it"s just Clarance J. I"ve been looking through a lot of the different builds and still have a lot more to read. What better fun can I have besides doing the work. So I"d like to share mine. When I started this build I just wanted a nice near stock daily driver. I"m almost there. I did the usual add ons like power steering, disk brakes on the straigth axel, old 6 gone and replaced by 1965 327, tilt wheel, newer seat , new dash and gauges, etc. Also he had to have a tilt front end because I can"t lay on the fenders anymore being older and a little rounder. So here are some before and after pictures. I"m getting closer to the paint stage. Still working on this picture size thing. Earl from Grants Pas OR.
