I
picked this truck up from a good friend who had too many projects going.
We had gone to get it on
our
first road trip as a club to pick up another vehicle. It was found in Hughes
Springs, Tx and has only a tiny
bit
of surface rust in the floor and in one front fender near the front bottom.
The rockers are perfect and the doors
are
in great shape!
The
plans are simple....custom wood bed made from exotic lumber with a battery
box to match, 450 HP 350
with
a TH 350 tranny and a 3.73 posi rear axle. I'll be matching it in color
with Old Blue once I get it painted.
The
stepside will get a roll pan in front and a custom exotic wood bumper in
back. The truck will sport a
2/4
drop using new springs only.
As
soon as I get the wood bed installed I will begin to offer exotic wood
beds at very reasonable prices.
My
first bedwood project was completed 2 years ago when I built a kit for
a Model A pickup. I'll be offering
bedwood
kits for trucks made between 1947 and 1972.
I'l
be updating as time goes by when I get a chance to get things done on the
truck....
it's
gonna take awhile, but it sure is gonne be fun!!
