Nice looking wheels in the back.

 

Schuyles I like the patina on that truck

 

Had to buy a new front panel for the box. The original was so stretched out of shape from things banging into it that the box floor was wedge shaped and could not fit the floor boards into place. Ready to start assembly tomorrow.

 

What kind of wood is that Pete

 

Thanks man, tell my wife it's cool so she'll stop telling me to get it painted!

[QUOTE=bjmayberry2;15261041]Thanks! I am real excited about them. It's too bad that I don't have the fronts yet, but the front ones they sent me were the wrong bore size and they won't have the correct ones for at least another month...

OK put her on the phone, lol...... I wouldn't paint that truck, it has character

 

Trex. I have a full size piece of polished aluminum diamond plate that will go on top of that. It should be pretty strong.

Real wood rots under plating. I tried marine plywood under it but even it had problems.

 

OK thx, I was wondering why you were using a composite

 

Yeah it's going in my F1. I'll start a build thread once I get it in the shop and torn down. Width is about an inch wider than the stock straight axle, 4 piston calipers, power rack, and 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Any measurements you need let me know

 

Wow that sounds great Cman ^^^

 

What do you guys think? I have not seen this done before. I think it will look nice and will be very strong.






Boxed in after removing motor mount steel!



I like this a lot! Can't wait to have it all back together.





To fit this!

 

It looks good but I'm not sure the motor mounts are strong enough ....

 

I love this truck! Don't change a thing with paint!! I would love to find a complete truck in that condition

 

Those mount's have been around a long time. A lot with Big blocks sittin on top. I'm using that style also. Makes it easier to offset the engine for steering clearance on the driver's side.

 

I'll take your word for it Grant, it just doesnt look strong with the single bolts on each side
