LOOSE CHANGE - brought er home - finally - lots o VERY big pics

That's is a cool fuckin truck.

 

I bought 2 cabs, neither of them had window channels, I did not really want windows in the truck, generally too damned hot for em here anyhow, so I yanked the regulators and cranks.

I welded some serious backing plates for the door pins, and just cut a notch in the door, then bolted up the bearclaws, they are stout. The lower hinges on each door are barely in there, so it is not possible to get the doors very well aligned, they seem to be the most difficult part to find for the 32-34 trucks, but one day I will find some good ones and do a better job on the alignment (sure).

As for the wheels, just 16" rears ad 15" fronts, steelies from coker. I gave em a good rub in with oil and laquer so they would match the rest of the truck.

I will post some better pics of the steering when I get a chance, I built a fairly substantial structure behind the dash for all my wiring and steering - you can see the supports in some of these pics:

 

looking really cool.give us some pictures of the motor and rear.

Well, it's been said....39 times before me. That truck is completely bitchin'! Absolutely well thought out man. Great job! Hey, I got a new desktop now!

 

Nice truck. I really like the interior. Just curious, are those seats from the guy that sells them on ebay? If so, are they as quality made as they look, I was thinking of getting a set.

 

Man I can't say enough good about this truck totally baaad asss. Great originality from dash to armrest to well about everything. would like to see a picture from behind.

 

Bad ass from head to toe, love the stripes and lettering!

 

I dig the arm rest

 

Submit some of those photos to the HAMB 2007 calendar thread. . .

 

Let me be the first to say it...nice wagon!!!!

.....and the truck is pretty alright too

 

Great vision.
Great plan.
Great execution.
It really works.

I like it.

 

hey, yeah the seats are off eBay, paid a small fortune for the bastards, but they sure are comfortable, surprising - and all I got for cushion is an old 12x12 pillow - it works great.

there are some more pics here for those interested, some from the back. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisandrews/

I just had to pull the engine and redo the oil pump, so now that it is back together, I will take additional photos and answer many of your PMs.

thanks for all the comments!
