Jim, Thanks for the comment. (USAF- 67-71)

 

Great looking PU. I've been working on one for about 9 years and hope to have it on the road sometime soon. I like the chopped top and am wondering how much you took out of it?


Thanks,


Jim

 

Jim,


I took out 2" but did not chop the rear window. If you want more information about the build, check the first page of this thread. I have a complete "Build list" with all the modifications.

 

Thanks and I guess should have checked there first, getting lazy.

 

Wood bed is Southern Pine.









Note: The removable tie down loops in all 4 corners. Notice the location of the Gas "cap" in the bed. Due to the filler neck being so short I fabricated a stand tube (enclosed) that must be used to fill the tank.

Pickup looks pretty slick, I found a '48 in Fort Collins last April, my build is going good, thanks to all your detailed pics and info. I'd like to see what wheels & tires your gonna run.

 

The wheels will be: 16" American Racing Torque Thrust II - Fronts
17" American Racing Torque Thrust II - Rears

The Tires will be: 205/60R16 Fronts & 245/55R17 Rears

 

I sent you a pm. Subject is wheels.

 

My eyes are smiling and thanking me for clicking on this thread, what a pleasure.

Looking good 48 Steel I did my bed in Cypress

 

I changed the ride height. I had a 7 1/2" clearance in the front and 12" in the rear. After some test driving I removed 2 of the 4 washer spacers on the Jag which raised the front to 9 1/2 ".
