Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Thanks Mr. Bill! Here's some other stuff to check out! I was able to do the push truck thing at the 2012 Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield and man, what a blast! I had to come up with a push bar idea to do it and after explaining my plan to my friend "Hot Rod Bob", he got busy fabricating while I was striping and lettering his truck! Sometimes trading is a great thing! So here's what we did... I picked up some pieces from my local trailer place. Grabbed a couple small receiver pieces, 2 pins and a 6' chunk of 2'x1/4" square tubing. My idea was to build something that could be hidden under the front valance/tray when it wasn't being used. Here's how it looks
    When I'm done, I pull the pins and bolt the valance back on and there's nothing to give away what's underneath! Here we are in the staging lanes  and going down the track!  Alex and I had a freakin' awesome day!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Very cleaver. I love when a solution is well thought out. Even better yet when it is hidden. Less it more ya know.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
^^That's the plan!!
The Cacklefest is starting to get where the push cars and trucks are almost as cool as the racecars.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I really enjoyed reading this. I started reading it on the Hamb, but lost track of it. Found it again through your buddy Chevyrestoguy's thread. Love those Gauges. It sure has the look of a sixties survivor. Anyway, I know its an old thread but felt I owed you for the enjoyment. Good job!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Hey Kustombrad! I've been following your build (silently)for over a year now, and I think the truck turned out GREAT! If I may ask....it looks like you put a new rear leaf spring kit in your truck at some point but I didn't read any where who's kit you used. Is it a TCI? I was also wondering what the length of those springs are from eye to eye. I am thinking about buying a TCI unit for my 46 but my springs are 54" long and TCI's are listed at 48". I just wanted to make sure I am ordering the right kit. Thanks Stan Z.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yo Paint! Yes, they are TCI drop springs (I still put the axle on top AND used 3" blocks) to get the look I wanted. It's too cold to climb on the floor right now and measure it! I'll check when its not so cold.
