Wow! Looking great! What size rims and tires are you using? They look perfect!
And the gauges look good!
That's pretty close... if you look at my avatar, none of my panels are really straight either. I have a pretty big gap looking at the nose and...
Looks great! I'm liking the astro box solution.. is the drop / pitman arm the one from the Astro itself? Would you want to make another bracket?...
Congrats on the first drive! Took my '55 around the block today to celebrate your success! Think your shifter is a handful? Three on the tree...
It all looks so good it's hard to tell what metal is from which truck! Is the radiator support from the '52, and the vertical angle steel...
I guess I'll say I'm a quiet lurker, who sadly can't add much but to say I enjoy reading your story. Thanks for posting!
Ignore the school hater... you know what's in it and it's looking great! Good on you for daily driving it... gotta say, it's going to be cold...
That looks so nice! You must be proud! Great job! Marc
Great info there Steve, thanks! (And nice truck too!)
That's awesome! Bet you're happy it's running! Great job!
I like the color, and the flatness of it. What type of paint did you use?
Dig the build! What type of paint did you use? Looks "real"....
Thx! I looked over your pics.. really like the rake of the truck. How's it drive with the front springs out? Any bumpsteer issues? Softer?...

Wow! You read my mind.. Was hoping all was fine with you. Welcome back. That would be sweet pic of your bike in back of the Dodge. looks like you...
I just looked over my old brakes... I guess they're worse off than I thought, the drum master cylinders are all rusted from being out in the NW...
Not sure.. but willing to check!
Nikky... pm me what wheel cylinders you need. I have my old front drums (off of my '55), and the cylinders look newish... I'd send them to you...
Haha! That's really awesome! How fun is that?
Can you post pics of your front end, steering components and such? I can't remember... you went with a Sids axle? Did you drop the tie rod ends...
Looks great! What kind of front end is on it?
One more thought on the brakes. Make sure the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder has just a bit of slack in it at rest. This allows the...
Looks great! Can you tell me how the rear IRS installs to the frame rails? Looks like there's bolts that go horizontally from the IRS frame to...
Dan... I wish you were in WA state.. the level of detail in your build (precise brake line bends, your master cylinder build, trans cross member,...
Looks fantastic!
Cool! Didn't have my readers' on! :)
Looks great! Just one question. I think you have two drum brake residual valves in place on both lines? I think the front line should have a...
One more thought to get better torque on those bolts... can you find hexagon head bolts (i.e. ones that use a hex wrench to tighten, not a socket...
I'm always amazed reading about your work! With the new clip does itt raise the cross member to give you more effective drop vs the stock rails?...
