Trying to get the ball over the goal line!

Hey Guys - Thought I would share some pics of my project and maybe get inspired to finally finish this truck! It's a '48 on an S10 chassis. 350 TBI, 700r4, discs all around, air, custom interior, etc. It's not far away, but man there is a lot of little stuff to get there.

Just a couple of exterior shots I have on the computer...I will get some more.

Re: Trying to get the ball over the goal line!

Pat-

Lookin good.

I can relate my 48 was an 11 yr build. At times is seemed like it would never get done.

I would make a list and a goal for each week. Once you start checking off some items from the list you will probably build steam and finish this fine truck off.

Good luck....keep us posted.

Marc

Re: Trying to get the ball over the goal line!

Thanks guys. I remember following your build Marc...turned out very nice. I'm attaching a few in progress pics and what I started with. That "California" truck must have been left in the ocean because it sure was rusty once I got into it! BTW - This truck actually belongs to one of my best buddies...he's paying for parts and I'm doing the rest.
