Looking good Dirt,BTW,I still haven't installed the replacment radatior in mine yet.
Actually,I recrated it and put it in back of the shop for future use.

Amazing! That will be much better than factory fresh.

Oh and Merry Christmas

Lookin' good! Love the progress you are making on the truck.

What do you plan to do with the truck/use it for?

Little more progress. I'm trying to get this truck completed by Feb. 12th so I can drive it to the Bellview show that weekend.

I'm going to ask a question but please don't take it as criticism. Was there a reason you decided to fix your existing cab as opposed to going through the trouble of modifying a deuce or 5 ton cab to fit? The build is looking incredible.

What are you going to do with all that rust? Make a new metal plate for there? Or find a way to clean the rust?

Availability, money, and time. As I said in previous post the sheet metal work is being done by a friend which frees me up to do other stuff.

What Im doing is just temporary If I dont sell it in the near future my plan is to one day do a complete restoration on this truck. So for right now Im just worried about the outside.

 

[pyrogod117]

Oh. I'm sure you can get a pretty penny for that truck. I can't even find any for sale.

 

[Dirt71]

A little more metal work done, and mounted the wheels and tires.

 

[Scarecrow1]

Man what a giant I would get a nose bleed getting in the cab....

 

[Dirt71]

Fired off the engine this weekend and every thing checked out ok only had one little anti-freeze leak on the hard pipe from the comp. head to the front of engine. All the new power steering and oil lines check out good.

 

[papabear]

That is one sweet looking tractor.

[Chevytruck]

Dirt: Your shop is beginning to look like the depot at Toole.
