I`m going to be picking up a 1946 chevy 1/2 ton short bed from a friend of mine that is supposed to be all there except the frame. Original plan...
Actually he hasen`t done anything with it. Where are you located?
Does this count? I`ll have the real thing someday. Hopefully by the end of the year if things go right. I was going to color it but could`nt...
I don`t mind starting at the bottom, done that twice so far in 11 years. Yeah I build my own engines and they ran good but I wouldn`t say they are...
Thats good advice but unfortunatly it`s going to have to wait for a while since I`m not working right now. It`s tough to find work outside of your...
Thanks for the input guys. Unfortunatly I am just over 30 but I`m not interested in working in a shop because I "think it would be cool" or any of...
I`m a out of work Harley mechanic and I`ve been thinking of trying to get on with a rod/custom shop. Do you guys ever hire people without...
Just thought I would bring this ttt since I just piced up a 62 shortbed. I would post a pic but it said I exceeded the size limits and i don`t...
Thanks for the input Clark. I`m still thinking about the s10 frame since they are pretty easy to find and usually really cheap. The spacers don`t...
Thanks for the input. I was really excited about it untill the guy told me it had a 65 swb frame under it. I should be able to find a stock frame...
I migt be doing a trade to get a 48 chevy 5 window shortbed. The guy and his dad attamted a camaro clip but messed it up and put the 48 body on a...
My buddy picked up a 47 international harvester short bed truck body. I guess he has all of the body but they guys would`nt let him take the frame...

ebay?
ha ha funny guys. Sorry I should have been more clear. How did you do the paint job? I like the suede look but i`m still learning about how it`s...
looks awsome. can you tell me how you did it?
I`m not calling you a liar but a 4000 lb truck with a 327/powrglide combo is hard to believe it runs 11`s and is a daily driver. I`ve built 327`s...
Thats pretty good times for a heavy truck and a small motor. probably wasn`t too streetable. If your looking to go 10`s, then my suggestion is to...
64cc, 383 flat tops, zero deck height and a .041 thick head gasket will put you around 10.8-11.2:1 compression. alot higher than 6:1. you stated...
461`s dome pistons on a 327 would be a great motor if you match the cam and everything else. Do you do machine work yourself? You`ll probably need...
I finally heard back from no limit and they sell a trim to fit mount that they said will work with either the MII or camaro clip so that sounds...
Thanks Dave. Funny, I actually have a running 327 I could put in. I`m still not too sure what I`m going to do but it wil be fun regardless of what...
can you tell me more about your set up? what mounts are you using? do you have the stock frontend? are you running headers? what fits? Thanks.

I`m doing a trade for a 53 F100 and it already has a 390FE/C6 in it with homeade mounts. I`m thinking of doing a front suspension upgrade but I`m...
