I don't know about all that Dan, but I thank you.

My thread is dead, nothing going on. So all I do is watch what you are doing so I can get some ideas from the talented genious as everyone here says and that Genious is you.

Motor seems a bit low will it clear the rack?

Rude Dude · 09-25-2011, 06:55 PM

What I meant was the steering shaft that goes to the rack

He has plenty of clearance for the steering shaft and the rack its the angle of the picture. The oil pan is 3 1/2 inches above the crossmember.

The guy I installed it for told me its Rod Works. I don't know much about them. I was told he bought it about 4 years ago and put the truck in a shop. The guy who was suppose to do the install never did anything but box the frame (imo not a good job). The owner saw the job I did on a friends Nova clip and thats when I entered the picture.

chevyrestoguy · 09-25-2011, 10:28 PM

As always, great job! You don't see many of those old '40s Chevy trucks.

How low is it going to sit?

Fat Mike · 09-25-2011, 10:53 PM

Man if I was your neighbor I would be paying attention to all your builds and learning as much as I can. Great job of course!!

dcmalone · 09-25-2011, 11:04 PM

I wish I could weld like that, but on the up side I'm keeping someone employed at the grinding disk factory.

hotrod1 · 09-25-2011, 11:36 PM

I understand that (grinding disk factory comment). Bam is an artist with a welder. Nice stuff!

Kabwe · 09-25-2011, 11:54 PM

Thanks guys

I just posted it here because some people seem to think I'm not doing any work. I've been working just not on my stuff.lol

I really don't know but he is talking about bagging it. He is an older gentleman and does not have the energy of us young bucks I told him I will help him as much as I can. He needs to do the rearend and he can't decide what he wants to do back there.
Here is a pic of it with the lower a arms parallel to the ground.

Man this is a really cool truck, it's really in incredible shape.

I really don't know he is an older gentleman and may not have the energy as us young bucks, but I told him if he needs my assistance to let me know. He's really cool people and the truck is in incredible shape.

Well, you need to keep everyone updated on what you're doing when it comes to working on trucks, yours or someone else! LOL, so we dont think you're slacking off.

Save all the money you're making to get that ultimate air bag system and joining the crowd, you know you want to, just trying to fight the thought of hitting that switch to make the truck go up and down without too much effort.

I'm starting to think you are under the impression that I'm building this truck for you because that would be the only reason for you to tell me what to do.lol

Not every one wants what you want my friend. Sorry but that is the truth.lol

What's the matter, can't I live my dream through you? maybe I can CONvince you into doing it my way.

WOW, that's very arrogant of you. WOW just unbelievable. But hey it takes all kinds to make the world go around. I'll do my thing and if it sucks at least it sucks because I did it the way I wanted to. Peer pressure is for kids and I stopped being a child a long time ago. I never did things because others did them and the only one that has to like my truck is me my friend.

You just finish your truck and I will worry about mine. Thank you very much for your advice, but advice that does not lead me to the path I choose is advice I don't need or want. I'm glad to know you have been giving my truck more thought than your own.lol

Tri5Nerd · 09-26-2011, 01:37 PM

I will try to finish my truck but it's just some nice to watch you build yours. Am I entitled that sir? lol. And no one siad your truck sucks, you need to retract that.

Alright I am going to stop making trouble now and get back to my truck.

Oh don't be arrogant and try to turn it around. Stay consistent, at least be consistent.lol

Yes please do get back to your truck. I am waiting on your every move, your mind altering display of things that you think I should do so that I will have the truck of your dreams but not mine.lol

See what you started! And I saying you started it, LOL. You have folks thinking we have a problem with each other, they just don't know how it is between us. We know it's all in fun but the choice is your to build your truck whichever way you want to build it but I can say anything I want as long it's not negative and yes I'm arrogant!

So here's a question for you. I have a soft spot on my hood ~15 in diameter and want to know how to fix it so I won't be able to push it in without some force.

Where is it located on the hood and send me pic in my email. Tell me the details is it high, low, or level. Is it oil canning?
