37' Boniville Truck

I'm doing this truck for a buddy. He wants to have a realy radical truck, so we are going to chop it 7", and section either 5" or 6". It will sit 3.5" off the ground. It will have a flathead with 2 strombergs, wire wheels, a quickchange, and out the cowl steering.

I will build the frame under the car so that the floor will remain stock, but it definatly will be tight.

The last picture is a rendering of what the cab will look like.

 

I used two cabs because the orange cab had good doors and a good roof, and the brown cab had a good base of the car but a bad roof.

It was a little tricky choping two cabs and making sure they were not only choped the same but in the same areas.

 

that third pic looks just about right.

 

Holy crap, I LOVE it!!

I'm so tired of most bobber jobs, but this'll be cool, especially based on your craftsmanship that you've shown us already.

If you haven't started yet, I'd suggest laying the WS back a bit, maybe not as much as the Pierson Bros., but that sort vibe.....

 

We talked about doing that, but he likes the angle of the posts already so we plan on keeping it the same.

 

Good work Chris, the rendering is sick. Can't wait to see it.

 

Its probably hard to see in the previous pictures but the roof had a lot of dents. So while the roof was off I got the dents worked out.

I also got the roof insert pre-trimmed. Once the chop is finished I will spilce in the stock opening from the 36' 3 window top. That way the roof will be open and appear like it has a stock fabric roof insert. Hopefully that will help the inside feel less cramped.

 

that looks killer


good work


keep the pic coming

 

That's awesome! I really like the brow that chop produced. Keep the pics coming!

 

What an awesome concept. I hope the driver is a small guy. Keep the pics coming, very interesting build.

 

Talk him into fenders... enough said.

 

This morning I worked on geting the front posts welded up. It was realy tricky geting everything to lign up with how much it was choped. I'll have to do some lead work to get it perfect where the origional factory seam is realy rough. But it was leaded origionaly in this area anyway.

 

Excellent...the proportions are perfect.

Do me a favor...just for my education. Take a measurement, inside to inside, of the windshield opening, and outside to outside of the cab (roughly) at the hood flange, just where the front, upper corners of the cab are still vertical (at the "bottom" of the hood flange "roll")?

Thanks.

 

Nice work.

 

I love the insert idea very cool. Nice work as always.

Wow!! You do some great inspiring work.

 

Today I worked on geting the pieces in that fill the gap in the roof.

 

WOW, nice work!!

I hope I can do mine as smooth as you did yours...

 

thats some nice work you do....

I dont give a crap what you call it...

Oh...if you have a spare 5 minutes...could you please whip me up some 32 5w drip rails....

 

Great work. Cool project.

 

Badass Im glad you reposted this awesome fab work.

 

Tonight I got the chop welded on the drivers rear cab corner.

 

I got the pass side welded and finished out this morning. I'm getting excited with how its turning out.

 

Man, Chris, I was super-excited when I saw that project in your shop last Saturday. The Chop is wicked! Makes me want to do something similar with my down-the-road '37 pickup project. I won't have mine sectioned, however, like your customer wants. It looks badass enough with just the chop--- I mean, it really does! Excellent work as always.

 

Love it!!! Makes me not want to sell mine.

 

Looks familiar.... my buddy notch's truck.

 

great work

 

Thats going to be a Bitchin Ride!!!

 

I'm usually not much for bobbers, but this is a nice hot rod! Ever think of a set of cycle fenders?

 

Thats actualy our inspiration for this build. My customer is absolutly in love with that truck, (which so am I. Its absolutly beautiful) and so he wants to build his as a tribute.
