Engine and tranny went in about six months ago. Painted the cab last week and finally got it on the frame. Its actually looking like a truck again instead iof just a bunch of misc. parts. lol.

Im guessing another year yet, when you have been at it for almost 2 years another wont hurt. I want to do the interior in leather so I better start saving. Next purchase is a reproduction bed.

Great work! Doesn't look like a stock firewall, but I am less familiar with your vintage. What sort of firewall did you go with? I'm considering options for replacing a patchwark quilt of rust and rivetted sheets on my '51 chevy and would appreciate any of your insight.

Love that color too! cool

Looks great!!! I really like those '39-'46 vintage trucks with the crank out windshield. Did you upgrade the front suspension? I'd love to see more pics of the front end setup.

51PhatBoy- I cut out all ridges on the firewall and then skinned over it to smooth it out. Not too tough but alot of sheetmetal cutting.

Yachtcare- Hers a better pic of the front suspension. Heidts crossmember w/ tubular arms.
