Your pickup looks killer man! I love it; very inspiring.
My most recent full build. 4 month project.
We lived in Fram (although our address was for the town of Carmen), which was about 5 hours bus ride to Asunción.
Good call on the radials.
You're welcome, sir. Good question, maybe it's what they had on hand?
Looks sweet. I'm a fan of those white wall Firestones too.
My pickup project when I got it.
Mhm, square or rectangular windows is what I'm finding. I honestly don't mind if it's an out of business body manufacturer from way back when, but...
It's a little wider and longer than a T body, although from what I've found a '30 GMC pickup had a 102" wheelbase (which is the same as the...
Also, what are everyone's thoughts on building vs buying a Speedway T bucket frame for this truck?
Looks great sir! I actually spent some time living in Paraguay a few years back. My parents just moved back from there too. We were about 30...

Good idea on the powder. Clean the whole thing and take it for a short drive and keep watch afterwards to see where it trickles from. Here's a...
Not really sure why they're so very popular compared to other years but a friend of mine has a 100 percent stock beautiful black 1950 Chevy and I...

All good advice on the motor-checks. Wet compression test and leak down tests like stated before. If the noise doesn't go away after a Very short...
I've had those angle grinders kick back on me more than once. I always keep out of the path of the wheel, hands, feet, body, everything out of the...
Plus 1 on the acetone and tranny fluid combo. Works wonders when you let the stuff sit for a few days with tapping several times a day. My brother...
Go for it! I enjoy 4 doors because of the extra space to put things in.
The first time it acts up you'll know what to adjust. =) I usually adjust mine whether it needs it or not at around 2k miles. At that time I also...
Love those Hudsons. GO for it! Happy rodding. =)
Very cool man. I like it. Just got a 35 Chevy coupe myself recently...
I prefer putting jack stands (that are rated at waaay above the car I'm working on) under the frame or subframe in front and under the rear axle...
I agree; more than one.
Yeah, it very well could be two mixed pieces and "not original" as some are metioning. Either way, I'm going to stay with the custom idea since...
My thoughts exactly guys! =D
Ha krooser. =P Yeah, it tracks straight and stops well so I'm good. =) It did throw me for a loop when I saw the clip underneath but hopefully...
Very nice and like everyone else is saying; love the wheels.
Thanks Don, I appreciate it. I put a new fuel pump and fuel line in today since she was stalling (lack of fuel). Also cleaned the carb out and...
