This truck is looking more and more like a grand touring contender as it gets closer to completion. Awesome job!

 

Nice, looks like they just welded the crown Vic center into a new wheel barrel?

 

Make sure those 10 or 10.5s fit. Measure and measure again. We felt 9 was a good compromise for this build.

Powder.

Exactly. I posted a link to an article about Pico and what they do. Check it out. It's a few posts back.


Thank you everyone else for following the build. Always appreciate the compliments.

 

Sneak peek.

 

Thanks for the input, I've never ordered custom wheels or had wheels modified (always made off the shelf work to keep cost down) I'm sure I'll spend a couple days measuring before I commit. Haha.
Im sure 10/10.5 will fit but will obviously measure. I have a 72, the frame rails are a little narrower.

Let me guess..Frame tank for pump gas, cab tank for race?

 

That new rubber looks good on there

 

This truck is Awesome, you guys do excellent work. Hidden storage compartment behind seat made with 1/2 fake gas tank? Keep up the GREAT WORK!

 

I like how the tools match the truck.

 

Nope.

Thanks. And yes this will cover up the stereo system.





Backside of tank before we separated. Tank was sourced from local junkyard.



Tank cut in half with Sawzall.



Tank separated and cleaned. Fuel fill tube was deleted and new corner welded on. Patch panel to delete fuel sender hole.



Both top and bottom corner patched and finished. All holes welded.



Powdercoated.

 

Your attention to detail and the planning that's gone into this build is insane, keep it up!

 

Wow, the things you miss when you take a vacation.
Really great work. Very impressed.

 

Well I liked the idea of race gas on tap. Haha
Looks great!
Merry Christmas guys.
'77 was the last year with the optional in cab tank, right?

 

Thanks everyone.

 

All I can say is WOW and can I get a seed from that $$$ tree you have planted in the back yard!!!!!! Like my drill instructor always said in basic training..........."Outstanding"!!!!!!!

 

What can I say that has not been said. This has been a wonderful holiday read for me.

Love the work from both of you.
