Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
More cutting, didn't like the rust that was covering the inside of the cowl panel.
Screwing the panels down until I weld them in place. |

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Wow can’t believe that’s the last time I posted(12-30-2013). A few life changing events have happened since then. Got married, bought a new(old) house, and we had a baby boy (now almost 2yrs old). I now have a new garage twice the size of my old one dedicated to just my truck! Going to rewire and insulate it this Winter and turn on my propane heater. Since we just got some snow up here.
So I have done a few things on the truck since 2013, but not much. Stripped/sandblasted/painted the rear of the chassis, installed 2" drop shackles. Put the rims on the truck just for a teaser. Found a bench seat on the side of the road, it fits as a mock up. Pictures to follow. |

I found someone who wanted it way more than I paid for it, so as they say...everything is for sale if the price is right!!
So down the road it went. ![]() Probably for the best though, as there has been a ton of unexpected work needed on the house, picture a very small pin-hole leak in a water pipe hidden inside the wall for who knows how long!!! Needless to say, it was not pretty or cheap!!! But on the positive side, have basically a brand new kitchen!!
