Another attempt at a shop truck

[Reggie]

Everytime I build a shop truck, I make it too damn nice to get it dirty. Well, I'm going to try one more time. This is the latest project truck. I'm looking for a tri-power carb set up for a 390 ford engine that I'll be putting in it. I'm going to use one of those SROD ford 4speed OD manual tranny...so I'm also looking for a flywheel, bellhousing, and clutch fork.

and another

I have a bellhousing...the fork and flywheel you can get at any Mustang part site...Neal

[C. Montgomery]

how bout a edelbrock 2x4 cross ram? I just got rid of one, but the guy's not gonna use it, could probably get it back...

Hey BigDog, believe it or not I have one of those intakes. I'm really wanting to do the 3x2 thing.

I actually kinda dig those big wheels... Shush... Don't tell anyone.

[OutLaw]

Reggie If you have time to wait for your truck. I was thinking of stopping by Neal's on the way to Vegas.

Man, I think I am in love! I have been resisting the urge to put radial tires and Torque Thrust wheels on my 60. I think that you might have pushed me right over the edge... Hope to get a close-up look at it when I am back there for Round Up!

[Ayers Garage]

Would you give me the details on wheels and tire size please?

Thanks,
H Hotrodder

Lookin good, Reggie. Now, resist the urge to paint it. Primer or flat paint is ok but no shiny paint! And no fancy cloth interior, especially a light color that would show dirt. Rubber floor mats work great too.

I dig those old uni-bodies http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Sweet man!

Great truck, I have had mine since 1997.

Well, you're on the right track with that ruff ol' thing, no way will it be "too nice"...in fact you'll prolly be ashamed of it, I'll take it off your hands(cheap) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Then step away from the truck, right now. It looks great!

[Reggie]

Guys, thanks for the compliments. I don't plan to paint it at all. Just want to get the Big Block stuffed in it and put it to work. The wheels are 18s. It has a volare clip, with dropped spindles and the rear has been flipped. Other than that it is bone stock. I'll post progress pics later.

Thousand dollar wheels on a five hundred dollar truck! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

At least they're not those spaceship lookin' things that you see too much.
Don't know how they'd work on a shop truck, I hear they bend pretty easy.

Nice truck Reggie.
