Well i chopped the top and added a 69 chevy 350 and started on the box . I know that this build isn't for everyone but my skin is purdy thick so let me have it from all sides but don't forget i am bulding this truck for me not you Heres some pix
Well I don't like that at all. Sorry I just wanted to say something ugly to someone and you were available. Looks like work but good work my friend. What are the plans for the front?
Did a littlle more work on the truck , i started on the lake headers got some tall alum. finned valve covers and an alum. finned oilpan , alum. timming cover , loud gear drive and a Doug Hurberts solid lifter cam and a elec. water pump so far still lots more to buy . I got the cab and box off the chassis and i started to square things up and then i will strip it down and start welding it up. Oh ya and i picked up some 461 camel humpers for the motor lol Hope to get some more done tomorrow i will post more as i getter done Heres some pix
Did a little more work on the truck today , i made the new tranny mount and straightened out the rear lower brackets and added gussets then stripped the chassis down to be welded . I hope to start welding tomorrow , there will be alot more brackets to add like the 2 battery mounts / fuel tank brackets / roll cage /2 nitros bottle mounts / tranny cooler mounts / rad mounts and on and on lol As soon as i weld the chassis up i will paint it so it dosen't rust on me i will grind the paint were i have to add and then repaint. Please let me know what you guys think . Thanks Mike
You need to look around for a 47 Merc truck grill. Horizontal bars and very different. Had one many moons ago.
No grille on this one , rads in the back and open motor up front only belt will be for the alt. down low . Thanks
Thanks porknbeaner you can take your stuff out on me anytime , front will be open no grille and ran will be in the box in the back Mike
Nice work, curious to see what you will do with the bed of the truck, any ideas? since it looks like 3 or 4 inches deep lol, have the nitrous bottles mounted back there? and do you have to build some sort of a scoop under the truck to direct the air into the rad ?
6" out of the front and 5" out of the back , 3" out of the back window and raked the windsheild back instead of cutting thru the roof and spliting it , i will post some pix later.
I dig your truck man, I almost went a very similar route when building my 46. good luck with the build!
I like your build, going to chop my 40 in a similar fashion. Keep the updates coming. What is your wheelbase?
love your chop !! I have an F-1 i'm gona give similar treatment. Also would like to know your wheelbase.. Keep up the excellent work
