My wife and I went for a little ride today and she took some pictures while I was gassing it up. Didn't go too far as there was a vibration coming from the rear brakes when applied so need to check things out.[/QUOTE]

John it is so good to see you out in the sunshine, that has to be a great feeling.And only one little problem after all that work , Id say your doing pretty darn good. Congrats.

 

Drum brakes
Thanks Jimmy, it did feel real good and wish I could have driven a little further. My wife said she dreamt that she was driving it last night,lol

 

Slowly fitting pieces back on the truck to get them off the benches, floor and any where I can pile them.

 

It's looking real good Drew.I like your bed strips too. I made mine out of oak too.

 

My notification from this thread has stopped, hope it will restart now, there are some awesome projects on here. Congrats to all

 

Just noticed your seats, they look identical to the ones I picked up a couple months ago out of a 2003 Chrysler LHS, are yours heated too?

 

Will be done in about 4 months. Needs upholstery.

Absolutely gorgeous looking truck, you did a beautiful job

 

48 Steel , your truck is absolutely gorgeous , very well done !!

 

It needs to be at my house is what it needs.
Beautiful truck!

 

48Steel, Can you tell us more about your hood mechanism? I'd like to try something like that on my '49. Thanks!

 

What I made will work on the 48-52. There a few modification to the hood, the front latch and drilling 4 small holes to attach hardware. The top of the cowl must be smooth to allow the hood to be pulled forward during lifting.

This is a pic of my newest project, put the doors back on so I can round the door corners and complete the body work.

 

Can you snap a few more pictures showing more detail?
