Hot Rods KB international truck picture thread!

Couldn't find one, not a very common truck but iv got a chopped one I'm building, just after an picks of them??? Mines a 46 but I'm not sure how far the KB body style went

 

I also just started chopping a 42 K model.

 

OH ya,,here's a link for a completed Kb chopped,,just have to scroll down a bit

Awesome il try and find some pics of mine to post up when i get home on the weekend

 

from the snow to driving in 90 days after sitting in the weather for 35 years. Now its getting a 400 horse 383 stroker with a powerglide trans. and a 9" 325 geared rearend. should be running again in a couple of months

 

Mine might be a bit bigger than what you had in mind but its a KB.

 

49 KB-1 on a S-10 chassis.

 

Boom Boom. that thing is sweet but would look totally killer with the running boards removed. In my humble opinion.

 

BOOM BOOM ,,nice job,,custom rims no doubt...Did you fab the running board extensions or were they stock? I really like how they "finish" the truck.
Now lets see a chopped K model.

 

Thanks Jazz1, The running boards are actually two different running boards cut then welded together so they extend back to the rear fenders. Looks better than the originals ,to me ,which stopped at the back of the cab. Wheels from "wheel vintique" ordered with custom offset. Would love to chop it one day.

 

BoomBoom your truck is a shweeeet ride , awesome

 

here is my on hold project

 

That's awesome! Love the look of the running boards.

 

if anything, extend the boards back to the rear fenders for a much better look.

 

any more??

 

Here my future father in laws kb along with my 26 t and my dads 40 at colorado goodguys last year.

 

I ran across one like this in a local junkyard a couple years ago, it used to be a tow truck of some kind. I was able to salvage almost all of those horizontal grill bars, a headlight bezel, and most of the air cleaner. Its been almost a year and a half since I last saw it, might still be there.

 

Anybody know of places to get used KB parts, I need a windshield frame for a 47 KB pick up.

 

An update on mine----the 350 fit like it was made for the kb1, its a little squirly up to 45mph( thats when it hooks up in 2nd gear). The ford 9" posi is working great, eng runs like a top, the only thing that needs attention is the brakes. I'm gathering the parts to do a disc set up on the stock frount end so that will be taken care of.

 

pm sent to your in box. by the way your truck is looking good !!!

 

I finished the chopped cab on the '42 more or less,,gotta move it outside 'till spring and do some cosmetic work done on my '41



and the uncut version of my '41

 

Not a hot rod, but still a KB...Like mentioned above. hehe Been in the family for 50 years or more.

 

here is my 41 internation project, 3" roof chop, and a 3 " section, sitting on a s-10 frame with a 305
