Lets see. The hood, doors, bed, bumper will weigh several hundred pounds. Good reason for a stepped up reassembly program. Several hundred pounds may lower the truck

 

Excellent point. Now to squeeze that in to my schedule. Let's see, two football games, soccer practice, school board meeting, parade prep, lawn mowing, install hood and doors. Dang, I have too much going on for work. I need to go buy a lottery ticket. Shoot, and deer season starts tomorrow, that's a big deal in my job....

 

Yes that is a good point, lol......... congrats on the 1st trip .....

 

You should have taken a picture of the gas attendents face, that would have been priceless,lol
congrates on the first ride.

 

Hey Harrier
i thought I saw a potential lawnmower sitting next to you in the truck? I like your make it happen approach!

I am in the early stages of the Jag IFS install in my '56. Engine is out and measuring the the modifications to the JAG's member.

Harrier - Good thing no po-po was around... (That would be my luck if I did that)

 

Every time I take the truck out, I wonder if they might see me and stop me. I'm in a pretty small town, so they might go easier on me. I guess it would depend on the guys mood. About all I need to make it legal is wiring and glass. Boy that makes it sound simple doesn't it.....

 

Now, if I could just get some help with the steering shaft.

 

I guess you could put a slow moving triangle on the back? I live west of town and have wondered if I will take "gas station drives" as well? My wife is friends with half the police in the area, so I will probably take the risk...

 

 

Just got my truck back from the body man for a while. Cab and front clip is about done. Running boards are still bare metal. Waiting to fit the rear fenders and then will powder coat them.

 

Looks great Rich, very well done so far ......... I love the color

 

I finally got the cab off yesterday with some help from my friend John (Deere).
