The Jalopy Journal
Nice to see it on FB Live! Took a couple screen shots of you and the car in the staging lanes. I think I told you that a Deuce was what got me...

Update on this and it's COOL!!! The PO's wife got ahold of me and said that they wanted to get it again so I put them in contact with the guy who...
Wow that looks great! I like the color. The hard part is over, assembling the bed. Hope the rest goes well.

Sounds like some of my projects, directions change. Love the '62. You are quite an artist. Can't wait to see how that turns out. Following you...
That's how I was going to do mine. Now I can copy your tech. What hinge mechanism are you going to use? Seems like a natural place to put one...
I used to have a '56 352 Clipper 30 years ago and there was an adapter for Chrysler trannys then. Might try these guys, they go to Chevy....
Could it be any cooler? I don't think so. Just amazing.
Pull off a trim piece, like the headlight or taillight ring, and see what is under it. The firewall is also painted body color so what is that...
POR15d the bottom and some of the inside floor. This stuff works great. [IMG] Test fitting the aftermarket visor... fits like $#!+. Going to...
Yeah, they have about 3/16s" movement instead of 1/4". Close. My doors were right in the middle so I hope I'm ok. Close enough for my truck....
Finally got back on the truck tonight. I had ordered some nuts from McMaster-Carr for the door hinges as the originals were rusted off. [IMG]...
Yep, had the same issue with mine. I had to replace the lower 2" or so all along the inside perimeter and build a new rear sill (which is...
It's taking longer than I wanted so April is out. I have finally gotten the 67-72 wheel wells. They are the same as the 58-59 overall....
Jim, I have always liked this color. My old '67 300 Deluxe: [IMG] Would give the car a look of someone getting their grandma's old car and...
40 year old race car? The car looks great underneath. Fun watching along. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Posted using the Full Custom...
That's why I love this site. I was thinking the lights were Hudson or similar, didn't think of Nash. Thanks. I'll see if I can find an AA or T...
These old pieces? One of my friend's mother died and they are going through the stuff that her husband had. I am trying to help them our and...
Just a quick update. Getting all the rust treated on the bottom of the cab. Needs corners and a couple patches on the driver door well but I...
Ran all the boards thru the planer that I borrowed from a bud. It works great - nice even pressure and only taking 1/32" off at a time. The...
Started to trim the wood tonight. Got the widths on this cut. [IMG] [IMG] It's ash that is 13/16ths ready to plane. I will cut them to...
OK, I haven't heard from my friend with the wheel tubs and I want to keep building. So I have a question. One of the suppliers shows that the...
So the box really isn't bolted directly to the truck except on the rear sill? Every other point seems to have a piece of wood between the box and...
Finished up the repairs of the bedsides this weekend. This was the only part other than the bottoms that was bad. It's where the tub bolts on....
How did you attach it? Screws, rivets? Is it the aftermarket one and if so did you have to message it so it would fit tight? I picks on up...
Haven't seen that one. I remember seeing a custom truck in one of the little custom books that had fins on the bed. It was a pre-55 series one...
Thanks for the tips. The door wells look nice! I think for my purpose a square file will work better. Because I am flying blind I will drill...
