Re: My 1952 truck.
Just read your build. Great lookin truck, glad your back at it. What are some specks on that motor (or did I miss that). Your CJ is real nice, I've had my 1967 CJ5 for almost 21 years, so much fun. Keep up the good work.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Thanks lower50's. I built the engine to be a tough one. 383 Eagle stroker balanced rotating assembly, ARP fasteners throughout, 9.5:1 CR, 177 supercharger, AFR racing heads, Holley 950HP carburator, custom 1-7/8" headers built by me. Conservative estimate is 650hp. Once it is running I'm taking it to a chassis dyno to have engine and transmission dialed in. I have videos of it running on a test stand but can't get it to load on here. Something about missing security token.

Re: My 1952 truck.
looking stellar, I like the latch. Was debating on doing that too. Maybe on my next build.
I'm assuming you have repro parts there you have to fix??? not the only guy I'v seen having to do that.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Yes they are Dynacorn fenders. Not too happy with them or the other panels.

Re: My 1952 truck.
looking really good, good god Id be so mad to have to do all that work to make new panels work ($$). I guess there is just never an easy way to get one of these trucks done. new or old metal, lotta work.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Nice work. Wonder if the gaps / poor fit is due to variations in the original builds or are the new parts that far off?

Re: My 1952 truck.
I'm not sure AD, it does seem weird everything is off on the front end. My truck is a model 1433 which is a Canadian 1 ton. I was told the hoods a bit different?

Re: My 1952 truck.
1/2-1 ton chevy are all the same front sheetmetal. 1.5 ton and up changed, everything is a bit bigger.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Started on lower dash today. Got the idea to use a spare set of defroster Vents.

Re: My 1952 truck.
I will be gluing in a piece of foam in these vents after paint. Ducts worked great.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Thanks. I am going to make a polished moulding that will bolt on just over the vents and carry over onto the door panels and console.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Looks really good. Your truck is just dripping with cool details. If anyone give you grief about how long you have been building this they need to look no further than your ton of custom touches...
What color will you paint this truck when your done with the fab work? Marc

Re: My 1952 truck.
Well Marc, I have been struggling with the paint for a couple years driving everybody crazy, but then about a week ago at 2am I stumbled on a design created on a software program that I fell in love with. Going to modify it a little though. All I will say is it will have four colors. My wife hates it, so I know it's perfect. Haha. Your interior turned out awesome by the way.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Well me and a buddy held an emergency safety meeting in the shop tonight. It looks like I am going to recess my hydroboost for sure. Seven inches! I'm also going to tuck the rear bumper in two inches. Hate those safety meetings. Especially when I'm the guy that has to do all the suggestions.

Re: My 1952 truck.
My dynacorn fenders fit horrible too. I have the opposite problem with my hood alignment in the front, my hood protrudes about 3/8" past the fenders and it's about 3/4" too wide in the front. I'm going to try shimming the fenders out some since the grill fit in so tight. Your truck is beautiful man keep up the good work!!
