When I go cruisin' in the old truck....women smile, men weep and dogs beg for rides.

That's a very good looking box. You wouldn't happen to have plans with a material list would you? I have a 42 1/2 ton and I'm debating weather to rebuild my original box or go with wood. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | That's great news. What month are you gonna be? With that color August or oct I bet.

You did a great job on your truck and you deserve the credit. It looks like you not only drive it, but work it too. That makes it even more special. My hat would be off to you, (but I don't wear one). Congrats from another Art Deco nut.  If it all works out, I would like to buy a copy of that calendar. John

There is 22 feet of welding in each fender. I just have to say if there will be babes posing on the truck they wont be wearing much as I don't want any scratches : ) The flat deck was bought already built( got it for $250) just a few modifications for the ladder rack. The truck is a daily driver and used for work I am a roofing contractor. All of are materials are delivered so it is just for tools and ladder. I will be hot rodding my 1940 GMC for pleasure use as I like this style better than the 46 (sorry if I offend any one)The paint is ppg radiance base color purple with orange glow top coat. total 16 coats and about 3 grand for materials. Again thanks everyone. all that sanding pays of with comments like yours

After looking at your pic's.... The best place I can thi9nk of to do the photo's, would be at Van Dusen gardens..... on the grass at the bottom of the hill.... letting the grassy hill become the backdrop....... Ahhh but thay's just my thoughts...lol they'll choose their own location..... and I certainly hope you get ample copies of the images they take....(with permission/license for your own useage.....)
