    Watching one of you builds is like watching Overhaulin, all done in a week.

    I dont think I could keep up with your pace even with having other people doing the work :)

    Great entertainment to watch though

    That is one big grille on that beast :cry:

    I almost bought a 47 Dodge Panel Truck a couple of years ago for 700.00 complete but it was so tall it wouldn't fit through my garage door. The truck still sits in the same place where it was for sale.

    Well folks as i said yesterday ,my goal was to get the cab mounted to the frame after the underside was painted ,mission completed .Next week i will try to put the whole front end back on temporarly to keep parts safe from damage.:HandshakeIt does sit real high right now cuz theres nothing to it yet,but when im finished it will sit 14 to 16 inches from the gound

    Hey Jimmy, the ground grip lug tire goes on the back!:rofl2:
    Looks good. Some day I want to build an old pickup somewhere in between a rat rod and full blown street rod. Hope I live long enough to do it, cause it looks like it will be a while!

    Well folks ,as you all know i got 4 or 5 projects on the go ,i thought i would post a few of the truck project .The front disk brake front end is in and just mocking up the front end to make sure our motor mounts and tranny mounts are in the rite spots ,i did change wheels and tires also for a better stance.
