Hold your horses. . . PICS! just like i said.

here are two shots of the truck as she was today.

mama fiddy shot both of them, thus the reson my *** is in the way

im beat from wiring alllllllllllllll night. this post brought to you by the word "****"

 

Cool truck........how do you keep your shirt so clean???

 

Is that an Olds motor?
OH -I have a greasy handprint ,I'll give you at Mokan, fo that there shirt.....

 

455 Buick- unless I remember wrong.

Them skinny little rear hides ain't gonna last long when you start smashing the loud pedal! I see cheater slicks in your future.......
Looking good, BTW. (The truck, not the clean-shirted HAMB'r!)

 

Thats a Jalopy Journal shirt meng. . . its filth-proof

455 buick is correct
an yea, your'r right, i'm thinkin different tires soon nuff, but this is what i could afford, and they'll get me to MOKAN and back, so long as i kin keep off the loud pedal with my heavy foot

aight, i'd love to ******** with you ladies all day, but i aint gonna cause i got a car to finish gettin lites on the back of, and get it over to the alignment shop yet today



i STILL have a fuggin mile wide ****-eatin-grin

 

PS. . .

Kenny, i got something you kin put your dirty paws on

you're buyin beers on friday

 

What yrs truck is that?

 

So are you gonna make it then?

 

Well I'm happy for you.


I can't wait to see it in person.

 

Now thats funny!
Looks good brudda! See ya Saturday??

 

Traves,
Looks great! Has Rocky seen his old truck? Might stop by next time I am up that way to see it. Hope you don't mind if I post a pic of the Willys before you started on it.
Tom

 

Traves, I have a pair of 31-10.5 for the rear. Say the word brother and they are yours (I owe you one).

 

ok. . .

its a 52 body/grill bed is ??? Tom might know, i'm thinkin 48-51 for that


Root, i shall indeed be there weather or not the willys makes the trip, who knows. trans seems solid as hell and the motor is HEALTHY

Grumpy, those 15" tires? you have my attention

good LORD!!! man, how did i EVER see potential in THAT thing Tom? its been a while since i even looked at some of my pics from "before" . . . thanks for posting it! no idea if Wayne has seen this thing yet or not. prolly has. hows about it Rocky? i do a good job on your old rattle heap?

Greg, see ya saturday brudda

 

i win. . . you owe me a brew

 

I owe you a beer?

O.k.





I guess.

I'm still not convinced. I want to see you actually driving the thing. Wind whipping through your hair and everything.

This must be do***ented correctly.

 

Ha,... Fiddy, Nice new shirt pic!

Truck looks cool though, lookin forward to meetin ya.

 

I had a 455 buick in my willys... it was a blast! chop the top !!!!!

 

No kidding fiddy...If there was ever a top screaming out for a chop, it's yours. The proportions make it look like your truck has a huge forehead. A nice chop will look really killer, tho...

~Scotch~

 

Have sawzall and welder...willing to travel...

we can do it, we have the technology...we can build it shorter, smoother and cooler than ever before...

I'm down for a good ol' fashioned MN chop top get together...just say the words man and I'll try like hell to fit it into my schedule and we'll have her ears lowered in no time...

 

this is by far the easiest photochop I've ever done...but it did require sectioning the roof at the rear of the cab, but everything looks fairly flat up there with little crown...it can be done...so let's do it...

 

T - The Willys really needs the lid lowered! Numbers on the firewall say 52 cab. I am pretty sure the bed came off a 52 but a different truck. Does it still have the Pontiac rear end in it? Tom

 

yea. . . this winter is slice n dice time for sure with a fresh coat of paint with thanks to Tuck for the jug o color

pulled the injun rear in favor of an 8.8 with disc's . . .the poncho rear is sittin in the driveway pissin off the neighbors, along with a pile of rusty **** i call my HA/GR project...which i think is MUCH more fun than havin it in the car

 

oooh, I could always use another poncho rearend for my collection...nudge nudge wink wink...hahaha...I'd trade help with the chop for a poncho rearend...hahaha...man, I wanna see this thing get whacked...

 

DAHAM Fiddy,
That thing looks mean! Looks like it could be a little fun too.

You still coming through WI on your way to the drags or you making a more direct path?

Either way, I'll see you Thursday, either early or late.

Damn, I was just kidding about that whopping you racing thing.....note to myself, race before he changes tires, he will just be spinning.... Better be making a peace offering...

Two more days, I already can't sleep! See ya at Joplin, if not before.
Gene

 

Here they are.

 

too bad you don't have a mid 80's 6 lug GM rearend, I got a pair of aluminum slot mags with some Mickey T Indy Profile tires you could use for the drags...hahaha

 

are ya done yet? are ya done yet? are ya done yet???

 

not lookin good. . . axle seal leakin like a sieve

gonna toss it up on jacks, and start pullin it apart tonight, an see how far i can get before i p*** out, get a pair of seals in the morning and maybe...MAYBE get it bolted back together in time to go thursday

 

Wow thats nice. Are you running the stock front end on that? Ive got a 1950 pu that Im just really starting on. Mines 4x4 but I want it to be 2wd. Maybe 1 day Ill have to hit up Johhny for a chop as well.

 

Hmmm...and I just found an old Willys wagon the other day for sale :evil:
