Re: Show us your projects
1951 4400 loadmaster. My son has been calling it Big Daddy. So I guess that is it's new Name. lol It didnt come with a flat bed so i built one. Im not sure how big the original ones were but this one is 8ft wide by 10ft long. I might have to slim it down to 6ft. I have rebuilt the wheel cylinders and sanded down and bondo the bolt ups for the fenders on the cab. i also sprayed on a rubber undercoating on the bolt ups also, the pic is the finish product just one while doing the work i had to primer it early because it was bout to rain. then i sanded back off. i am working on sanding down the inner fenders and primering them. As the doghouse was already taken apart when i got it. i also sand down the seat frame and primered it and re-installed it. It runs and drives. Thats about it for now. |

Red is the project 1950 that was done in 1973 with a Pontiac 1973 Bonneville 250 c.i engine, custom drive shaft, both from the Station Wagon, TH350 Transmission, Pinto shifter, Nash Air conditioning. The green truck is parts, just located this week. |

Thanks I have to do a serious audit on the 49' 5 window. Its complete, with a whole bed full of extra parts, but no title and some metal fatigue it looks like without going to bare metal to take a look. |

Re: Show us your projects
I had the same problem with my 55 as you can see from all my post, its ruff but
when you start taking it down to bare metal it reviles a lot. but once you get all the rust off it will look different, I remember just cleaning my truck made all the difference. great looking truck. -Larry |

Re: Show us your projects
Here are a couple of pictures of our 55 Suburban. My dad bought this in 1958. It had been in a barn for the past 14 years. We are in the process of bringing it back to life.
