Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Just bought it.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
1949 8BA Flathead V8. Will totally rebuild it. May add a blower or fuel injection.
Suspension Modifications:
Will probably put airbags on it. I actually want to use it as a dump truck. I'm thinking that I'll be able to lower it so I can use it as a mobile dumpster. But then raise it to drive or do normal dump truck things.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Probably should get rid of the "widow maker" rims but I really like how they look on it. Might have something custom made because they scare me.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Tuck and roll. Radio. GPS. Get the gas tank out of the cab. Heat. Air.
Future Modifications:
Not sure yet. I'm thinking it'll be a life long project. Blown flathead, air bags, modern brakes, air conditioning, would really like to get an automatic in it instead of the non-syncro 4 speed. Maybe a higher gear rear end instead of the two speed.

Might put the body/dump on a late model dump truck frame.
The goal is to function, look cool (mostly stock looking) and to be dependable. Read more ยป
