Projects 31 pickup

started working on my pickup again got a great deal on a 354 hemi so out with the 283 mounts done and gearbox mount done now time to mount cab

 

What a cool jigger, tell us more? What did you start with, what are the plan's... Back story?

We love stories, oh & photo's, lots of photo's! Video's too!

 

Plenty of engine for that pickup. Fenders? Hood?

 

What they said.^^^^^^^

 

its a boling brothers 5-12 frame bought cab in california imported it to new zealand turbo 350 trans 9'' diff will be fenderless trying to make my mind up to chop it and channel if i do that will not be able to run the blower we have rules here about line of sight

 

no fenders will run hood

 

I'd chop it 3" maybe 4" but no more.

I wouldn't channel it for 2 reasons, 1- more leg room in that tiny cab, 2- try to keep line of sight legal so you can keep the blower but the leg room is the biggest reason.

I missed your location being 'down under' A really cool pickup, with that ch***is is has the stance of a channeled car. Here in Aus our early hot rods were largely an 'East Coast' style channeled & un-chopped, what was the early NZ style??

 

same style in the early days but making a strong come back now

 

i was going to channel it 3'' and chop it 3'' if i do

 

You won't like long trips. Trust me I know. It get's old real quick.

 

Great start. Guess you can’t tell authorities to get blown?

 

New Zealand isn't that big it's all good! Haha

 

Love the look. It doesn't need chopping or channeling, just finishing.

 

That looks really good, love the blower
