Features TRUCKS ONLY PIC THREAD! Show me your cool trucks...

***************************************************************

It will be a huge job, and I dont think you will be able to handle it,,
I can take that off your hands and do you a favor,,

Actually you will need to replace all of that wood in the bed sides, and at the same time fix any rust outs, hope you have a good welder,
Probly need to take the cab off the frame, and have a way to do it,
redo all the attaching bolts and hardware, replace all of the gauges, decide what engine trans combo to run, and whether to keep that frame or get another, maybe a more modern motor home chassis, lets see. hows the glass?, wiring? so a total disassemble is going to be your best bet I'd say,,
sounds like a lot of work and a lot of fun at the same time.
Good Luck on your project!!
I wish I could find an original chevy coe car hauler of 41-46 vintage,,

 

39 dodge I'm building. build tread below.

Cool 39! With that bed do you know what it originally was?

 

If it was mine, 5.9 Cummins, manual trans and late model 1 ton suspension. Traditional? No, but it would sure make a bitchin' shop truck/hauler...

 

Now that COE has some cool possibilities! Great photoshop raw material too.

 

couple of better pic's of my 54 with the wheels from the coupe. Definite improvement.

Just finished my 41 COE on a 84 Chevan chassis with a hand built body.

 

Looks great both ways Dennis.

Later, Bill

 

Little truck at Little River.

 

Hey Studebaker guy's im looking for a pic of a white 50ish Studebaker truck with a 50 merc front clip on it looks factory.

 

My 1959 Ford f100

 

Looks good, what size tires are those?

 

My new project: 1961 GMC




Me screwing around with it, in b/w.

 

My just finished 61 Apache short stepside, and my 61 Apache long fleetside I did a couple years ago and sold last year.

 

Nobody?

 

I really hope you keep the "Fruit bat" hood on it, I think these are a cool way to go rather then the belly button look of the 62-66 hood.



(It's a nickname I have heard for them my whole life out here)

 

UPSrodder, I like your truck. Heres ours down in New Zealand. Our truck has the wheels & tyres off our "its taken 20 years already" 37 Nash project.

Have had the 1970s vintage Chev 250 replaced with a 350/700r4 so I can tow the bucket home from the drags when I break it. truck has Jag steering, Jag IFS, and Jag IRS. Will become my daily driver

 

gassertodd, that truck is sweet. would like to see more.

 

flippin sweet man!! and congrats!

 

My '63 utiline in action. About the small front tires... they were the biggest ones I could afford... Slant six with factory 727 and adaptor. It was a no radio, no nuthin model. Dash is still uncut, but the rest is pretty beat. This pic is it's good side.

 

Fastcar1953, here a few more pikkys of our truck. We bought it without seeing it but had a mate look at it for us. Most of the pikkys were at a "day in the dirt" and was the first day we actually ever saw the truck. We were heading north on 30th wedding anniversary trip.

 

And heres one from when it was for sale before we got it. The crooked bumper and the flat black Jag rims didnt help it too much.

 

my pile. well, it was until last weekend when i sold it. sigh...

 

my "new" 50 Studebaker. Dodge 360/727. It's a nice driver with new paint and interior. i am detailing under the hood and getting ready to install power brakes under the floor. I'll post more pics when i get more time. Peace, JP in the land of OZ.

 

a few more.

 

I love Stude trucks. Yours is perfect!

 

My new 42....with my little helper

 

Perfect color, stance and wheels. You've got a winner in my book!

 

Awesome!

And that's the best kind of childhood indoctrination!

Took a few of mine to a car show I enjoy last weekend.
