Really nice work, puts my 'hamb'fisted (ho ho) efforts to shame.

On the clutch linkage have you considered going hydraulic?

I used this kit http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/kit_hcr3.htm after a recommendation from another hamber and it works an absolute treat.

Sure saved a lot of headache and the best bit is it just works.

Keep up the good work, think the proportions are spot on with the longer bed.

Hey Paul , thanks for the heads up on that clutch setup. That looks pretty slick or "the dog's bollocks" as your people would say

!

This is a sharp little truck! I dig the lines and i like the choice of engine.

**cactus1** · 10-26-2009, 12:00 AM

Before I yanked the top off, I had reached a mini milestone in the form of two swinging/latching doors. I realize this may not seem like a big deal to most, but considering I made the A and B pillars and the dovetail guides from scratch, I am pleased with the outcome.

I still have a seemingly never ending list of tasks but this feels good, for real.

As always, thanks for looking, mikethegreek

Truck looks good. I've been following your thread. I got lucky on my '35 cab.....The guy that I got it from had already replaced the wood with tubing.

**cactus1** · 10-26-2009, 07:50 AM

Thanks 20 Cent. I like the direction yours is going ,too. What are you doing for floors in yours?

Ha! Thanks man. I wanna drive this damn thing. I've got a long way to go....

**cactus1** · 11-22-2009, 11:56 PM

I haven't updated in a while as I have been revamping the shop a little and remodeling the wife's bathroom.

I made some new shelves for my growing collection of stuff and managed to get the T inside for the winter.

**cactus1** · 11-23-2009, 12:04 AM

So, now I'm back on the truck. I needed some driveshaft and torque arm travel clearance so I decided to make a crude hammer- form to get the job done.

Then, It was on to replacing the mock-up wood at the back of the cab...

turney33 · 11-23-2009, 12:58 AM

hey man that truck looks awsome! you will never regret replacing all of that termite food. I did the same thing with a 33 2dr sedan,long road but it sure is worth it!I am finally done with most of the body structure,on to the frame.Good luck,happy truckin.

youngrodder1929 · 11-23-2009, 02:32 AM

lookin good i have a 33 pickup project on the go il be watching this one

**cactus1** · 11-24-2009, 12:02 AM

More tubing ...and a shot of the doodlebug. One step forward and two steps back, it would seem.

I have plans to make the back window roll down ,so I'll have to address that at some point.

**rob lee** · 11-24-2009, 06:43 AM

Nice subrails,where they from? Looking good! Rob

biscuit eater · 11-24-2009, 08:02 AM

Hey, nice door jam work! I'm gonna have to do something like that on mine. How are you attaching your wood parts to the steel parts?

**cactus1** · 11-24-2009, 08:19 AM

Hey Rob, if you are referring to the last set of pictures, that is just 1"x 2" and 1"x 1-1/2" 14ga tubing.
Thanks all for looking!

Thanks dude. The wood is attatched with little 6-32 stainless steel screws. Lots of drilling and tapping! I am using a spiral tap that is self drilling so that helps a little.

**scottybaccus** · 11-24-2009, 07:32 PM

Pretty slick! I can see some resemblance. How about you come and handle my rust abatement project for me?
