Projects 47 Ford cab swap on my Ramp Truck/Dragster Hauler

I put a 64 f100 Cab on an 87 F150 frame. Had to shorten the 87 frame. All the little stuff is hard. Aligning the 64 Cab on the 87 frame with no mounts was a problem too. The 64 engine was blown and the steering box was bad, so that was why, plus I got power st. and brakes and better suspension. Would never do it again.

 

Yeah I'm in no hurry to do another one,,,, Tim Jones

 

Here's some pics with the car loaded,, Tim Jones

 

Tim , that truck is turning out great and I love your flathead Fiat . Blue

 

Thanks Blue , Your hauler is coming right along also, I can't wait til the comp coupe is done but bills and lack on money slows things down,, Tim Jones

 

A-MEN brother , A-MEN ! Blue

 

Looking good, And you even mowed the grass!

 

Thanks bob ,, Had to make the place look nice for the pics,,, Today I added some steps to help getting up in the back of the truck, I'm not as limber as I used to be, also had to move the fuel filling inlet ,, all came out good, Beth had to show off her climbing ability,,,, Tim Jones

 

Over the last few days we buildt the push bar bumper for the truck useing the old bumper brackets, some angle iron and a section of wooden bridge plank,, we are building a separate push bar for the comp coupe , it will mount to two recivers that hang under the main push bar, the dragsters push bar is underneath the back of the fiat body, this keeps us from smashing the back of the glass body, Tim Jones

 

Finally got some mirrors on the truck, Was going to use the small round ones, But decided to use some square ones I had laying around,,, Much easier to see backing this thing up now,,, Tim Jones

 

Nothing real exciting to update , But I did get the headlites and turn signals all switched over and working

 

Buildt the push bar for the comp coupe today needed to fit under the back of the body and be out far enough to keep from hitting the back of the body,

 

Today We Cut the windshield glass loose from our parts truck , cool to beable to use the stock windshield glass, Now just have to remove the plexiglass I put in to keep it dry , and order the windshield rubbers

 

Today My Buddy Brian Chollett, Came out to do some lettereing on the race car and the doors of the hauler, We wanted an old looking simple design, He said he'll come back out to scuf it down alittle after it cures a couple weeks,, Tim Jones

 

Great lettering job Tim. You guys are starting to look like a big bucks pro team.

 

Thanks Tom,, If 99% of the time only having 5 or 10 bucks in your wallet is a big bucks pro team , That would be us,, Tim Jones

 

Sounds like good pay . Need team members ? Blue

 

Yeah man come on up, Money's no object, especially when we don't have any My lettering guy worked for a case of Mountian Dew and lunch,, to tell the truth We've be friends a long time and we help each other out,, Tim Jones

 

We're right up there with you Tim. Once we get our car done we'll join you on the pro tour.
