Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

I got the front roll pan installed bolts up to the bottom of the grill. I have never really liked them before but it looks good on there.
Let there be light, front wiring is all done and tied up neat. I had to get a new directional switch mechanism in the steering coulomb it was all broken, but it is from a F_O_R_D.

Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

Well I finally got the rear fenders welded up and ground smooth. It was way more welding and grinding than I thought, took me 4hrs for both. But they turned out real nice.
Then last night I got the fenders bolted up and the rear roll pan installed, still need to make some end plates.

Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

And my part is done with this truck. Got the rear lights all installed and wired, don't mind the mess all the lights have to come out for paint. The truck will go for paint at some point when the owner gets it set up, then it will come back to me and I will finish up the wires. The truck starts instantly and purrs, clutch and brakes feel great, and everything works as it should.

Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

nice work.
there are also weld on hinges available that allow the tailgate, or whatever, to be removed by sliding the hinge apart when it is open.

Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

here is a link to the weld on hinges in case someone has a project they may work on. there are different sizes and they are greasable.

Re: Someone else's truck. '48 Chev

by going with the shortie tailgate you left lots of room for tail lights, license plate etc. looks good. my raised bed tailgate is full height and when opened reveals a cover plate below the bed floor area. I thought about installing some sort of tool box in that space under the rear bed floor that could stow the jack and wheel wrench but that will have to be done later maybe.
