  1. Jeeeeez, that "vintage" (notice i didnt say old cause i resemble that!!) guy sure has some neat stuff. I dont mean any disrepect incase you are the gent in the picture. You could use the school bus to haul all US vintage types around to try and trick us that were still in school, kinda like a time machine..... Nice scores , now youre going to have to change your scrren name . Mitch

    On my 37 truck I used a 51-54 chevy truck axle dropped 4 inches from Sid. Then I bought a 6 lug disc brake kit to run the original 6 lug 37 wheels or artilleries. It worked. The rear had a 74 nova read end, same width as the stocker.

    Congrats on a nice truck!

    If you drop the front of the truck, how much clearance will you have between the ground and the chin piece on your grill shell? Less than 4" might be risky (haven't decided what I'll do yet)

  7. Guy, I dropped the front of mine at least 6"-7" with the junkstang II and I still have 8" clearance under the grill chin.I think it will be fine. Mitch.

  8. Wow! Lots of neat stuff there. Is that local? I see you are in Tulare.

  11. Great looking 36. I screwed up and sold mine. Had a very nice cab, front sheet metal and chassis.

    This thing is amazing. I wonder who built it, and when. Thanks for sharing.
