Customs Needed:October 1954 Rod and Custom Issue

Does anyone have a copy of the October of 1954 issue of Rod and Custom. Its where Vally Custom chops and sections the Dream Truck.
I got some pictures of Riksters site but its to damn small the read.

Thanks Dane

 

btt for the late crowd

 

Ebay is a good source for old car magazines.

 

I'll check... I am only missing a handful of the little pages.

 

Try holding down your Ctrl button and using your scroll whell on your mouse to enlarge the article.

 

I just learned somn' new. This will come in handy for zoomn' in on all sort of shtuff!!

 

LINK to the folder with magazine article on how the Dream Truck was built.

If the photos on my site are to small... just click on the "Get Original Uploaded Photo" on the bottom left side at each photo after you clicked on the thumbnail.
This will open the original scan I uploaded. And most of the scans I have of teh magazine articles are larger than the original magazine. So if the pages you are looking for are on my site you should be able to open them this way and then even be able to download them to your own computer and print them out.

The scans on my site are larger than the once below.... but even these you should be able to read.

If you click on the photos below you should get the larger scan.

 

A bodyman name of Sam Gates did the chop on a new '54 cab still mounted on a pallet. Valley sectioned it, then it was mounted it on the '50 chassis. Believe Sam also built the Ed Jacques '41 Ford coupe ? We never see anything in print about Sam - he checked his work by shooting black lacquer on the panel & shining a flashlight over it.

 

A bit OT... but

The Ed Jacques 1941 Ford Coupe was built by Valley Customs... very nice car.

Clayton and Neil with the car.




Sam Gates did built this 48 Ford Coupe though...
