Projects It's alive! 40 Ford pickup progress pics.

looks good-very cool dash

 

Rad Gator.....really nice..

Love them '40's.

 

Lookin good! Nice to see one of the S10 frame swap projects makin fast progress and looking great!!

 

Nothing like the first time you drive it, is there? Even if it's only 20 feet! I'll never forget the first time I drove the A-bone under it's own power! Made it three blocks and ran out of gas, LMAO.

 

Lookin "mighty fine" Gator..... you dont waste any time.

 

That's cool Gator!!

 

Nice goin' Gator.
I always thought those were the sweetest looking trucks, and you are doing an excellent job making it even sweeter.

I am bummed though to hear you sold the Caddy.

 

Love the dash! Nice

 

Thanks for all the comments and encouragement guys. I hung the doors and hood yesterday and got a little primer on it. Today I shortened the running boards and bedsides 4 inches, necessary due to the shortened wheelbase. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

 

Cool truck! And congrats on getting her running!

 

Breeder you are starting to look old man, need to put some shoe polish on that gray beard!

 

with wisdom comes grey hair....

 

I love my 41. Still have some things to do with it but thats always fun. Hope to see more pics.

 

man.. that diamond plated dash looks really nice

 

'40 Ford trucks are probably my favorite truck. Looking forward to watching the progress on this and seeing you cruzn down the highway.

 

Here's a pic I took with my phone today - a little closer. Waiting on the windshield now, the glass guy called in sick today.

 

Time stands still when you have to wate for someone.

 

Holly Cow brother Gator ! ....... do you also do 'motavational' seminars?
Your moving along fast, can't wait to see it.

badass little pikemup

lookin good!!

 

Your dash is great!

 

isn't the hood a 41 ?

 

Looking good! I also used an S-10 seat. They are a natural. I have one in my black 40 truck and picked one up for my 40 project truck. I shortened this one a little more to keep the seats from hitting the door panels. I think I took 1" out of each side. Do you remember what year of seat you used?

 

I also took a couple inches out of the seat pan and used the S-10 seat adjusters. That way I could sit in the truck and see out the rear view thru the back window. My black truck I have to duck down to see out the rear.
