Whoa! Looks great man! Got any extra rear fenders???

 

Sorry Mike no rear fenders, you putting fenders on yours?

My cousin Puke thinks it looks better with the hood?

Bobbed rears only. Puke is right. It does look really good with the hood on.

 

Looks like a great week off!

 

Looks great
Good to see your getting things done

 

It is amazing how much work can be done in a week when you get to focus. Doesn't look bad without the hood but looks better with it.

 

Getting ready to fire off the old truck.

I found out the holes in the top of the cab came from a sign with the town name when the truck was being used in a yearly parade.

You nailed the stance with raising the rear. I'm a little partial to the hood as well. It's coming along great!

 

Thanks! Your truck sits perfect in my mind.

I forgot to post this I also bobbed the box a little.

I think they are very close to being the same. At one point I got tired of it being so low in the front...tearing up the fenders and valance.... so I raised it up an inch. It looked like crap and played with my mind so much it only lasted a couple of days and back down it went. I just learned to drive a little slower....

 

Looking sharp!I am ready for a First Gear.........Second gear...............Third Gear....................Fourth Gear..................................Fith Gear Ride.

 

Let the spaghetti begin!

Time to figure the bed floor out. The frame notches interfere with the bed floor. After starting to raise the bed floor 2 inches I decided to cut out the area and build a metal cover. I've seen it both ways and this way my cooler won't slide around.

Beer security is so traditional, I am really shocked there is not more threads about it on the HAMB.

I did... I sold mine a few month ago to help me finish my current project. If I did build another one of these I would keep the fenders and the hood sides. These trucks look great with all the sheet metal. Thank you for the compliment, I do miss it a lot

 

Cleaned up the original guages, oil pressure guage only goes up to 30lbs should be ok? Speedway voltage drop for gas and off to the races as they say.

I think you may have some issues using that gauge with a modern engine. I wonder if there is some kind of pressure snubber or reducer you can install and just do the math as you are driving??
