Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I finally gor my Luggage Rack from ClassicRacks.com mounted to my '52 Panel (with. '54 front end). Michael did a great job. I ended up bolting it to the roof due to the extremely small roof rails. I had concerns even after fabricating some thicker, perfect fitting Stainless brackets, with it coming loose going down the road. I'd hate to cause an accident, damage and lose it, or have it easily stolen.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Dropped the hood on, close but look like fit even from the factory where it curves down into the headlights was very off. Also the back curve does not match the radius of the cowl. It will stay that way I am done cutting and rewelding. Still fighting the passenger fender, tonight I am going to make sure the frame is level side to side and take some measurements because the radiator brace on that side is wanting to be shimmed up more than the drivers side.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
mock up of rear suspension. still need shock brackets made, it is almost a rolling chassis again. one problem rear frame is tweaked hopefully that will be fixed next week. slow progress but progress just the same. started boxing in the frame, all parts are just tacked on for now final weld after all mock up is complete.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Digging it out of the corner to start working on it. Plans have changed over the years. Will be going the slammed route instead of monster truck.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Drove down to one of the local car shows today, about 60 miles round trip. It was a cool 50 degress at 10:00 am, but was still a fun drive.
First pic is my son and his friend in his 48 F**d rat rod pickup. 2nd is a "selvie" with the top off enjoying the ride....Jim

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Finally got the passenger side fender - door' cowl gap right, what a wrestling match. Porta power and application of various body tools to relieve the tension so it would settle into place. Now back to final body work and blocking on the fenders and bed sides. More photos in the build thread.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after a long time sittin' indoors i decided to finally get to rebuild a 350 chevy motor i have had for some years , i seem to remember it only had 27;000 miles '
well after takin it apart i saw that the crank had some scoring - rod bearings were not worn evenly and the lifters had very small pits in them - so much for a '' gasket and reseal rebuild . so i guess my new song of the day is ; ''HI HO HI HO mo money in the motor we go '' well at least the block aint cracked like my head is '' that;s the way it is '' |
