Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Cut out some rust I found in the lower front fender. Was blocking and saw a couple of blisters, further investigation with the dremel showed more. Will weld in a patch and continue.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Weather was good. Had to run to the hardware store so took the truck. Backed out of the parking spot and she stuck in reverse. No forward gears. Think the shifter is stuck. Called the wife for a tow home. Will deal with it later

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Bought a '49 3100. Really nice 350 motor and for the most part redone with an older frame off restoration. Truck died on its maiden voyage 10 miles away in the middle of nowhere, looked under and sure enough the battery ground connection bottomed out and no battery power anywhere. Flatbed home and up into the air she goes and there is no possible way to get to that battery from under the truck. My dad remembered an access hole under the passenger side these trucks had so I had to take apart the brandy new interior and sure enough there it is. Someone had soldered the main power wire to the battery post...
Anyway all fixed and I'm driving the heck out of this truck and I love it. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I haven't put it back on yet. Too cold to pull it outside. 6 degrees!! If it warms up a little in the next couple weeks, I'll put it on and post a pic.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Did you weld the flange on and smooth it in like I did on mine?
Can't tell in the photo for absolute sure but it looks like you did. Overall I really, really like the CPP firewall master, booster and pedal setup but there were several little mods to make before it was perfect. |

I still need to update that thread with some pics of my wife with it. Will do that soon. I'm thinking for my next project to try and find a mid-60s convertible. I really like Chevelles but would consider others. Got to be a convertible though. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
After admiring Kabwe's bed corners, attempting my own. Weird thing happened, while getting down to bare metal, found some of the original color of my truck, but these bed sides were from a craigs list add from another truck! (Mine were to far gone..)
