    truck1.jpg truck2.jpg truck11.jpg truck16.jpg 40 ford.jpg Thought I would post some pics of my 40 p/u I just finished. took a lot longer than I would expected at 5 years, but it's done and running. Some engine details: 1948 block, .060 over, Sharps heads, eldebrock with 3 94's, chevy valves, adj. lifters, L100 cam regrind, 8lbs off the flywheel. Paint work was sent out but all body work was done by me, as was frame, engine ***y,. and quickchange build using Rodsville center. Interior is Brown kit from Macs. Last pic is what I bought and pictures lie :)
