Hey Dennis,
I must not live too far from you. I'm in Sammamish and am building a '41 3/4 ton.
What are you building? a '40 truck? Old trucks are rare on the Eastside. Do you drive it?
I am going custom/street rod route but definitely keeping the original character with inline six, crank out front window and whitewalls. Its far from done but I sometimes (like today) drive it around the plateau anyway.
