What $800 can get you, Pothole Surfers project 50 P/U.

I posted a few pics a while back but all I had were shots of the frame and bed.We have now picked up the whole thing. Wow did we get a good deal.Springer should be cruisen in style in no time. We paid $ 800 for everything except the second set of doors, those were another $100.The guy through in a bunch of box's of parts for the truck including trim rings , dash parts, flywheel, a**** other things. We got a turbo 350 ****** with a shift kit along with two cases of ****** fluid and info on the shop that built it.We have all of the main body parts except the grill. That does'nt really matter since we are using a different one any way.We have the gl*** for it too.
The only things we did'nt get were the engine, seat, drive shaft, grill,and a few minor parts.

rear fender. This one is really nice but I think the other will have to be replaced.

 

inner fenders

 

The hood, it only has one very small dent.

 

behind the seat gas tank

 

misc parts

 

******, and it came with a 2800 stall converter.

 

We also have a whole other pile of parts in the garage of misc. suspension and stearing parts,two 50 Chevy colums, two tilt colums, a tailgate,and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.We also picked up a new two speed wiper motor.

 

when we are done it should look something like this, with a 3" chop and a shortend bed.

 

I like that last pic...the shoebox nose is sweet!

you stole that damn truck! - what a deal!

 

The Ford nose, white roof, and tasty scallops look good enough to eat!!!!

 

Good Score! I've had my eye out for a P/U like that for a couple of months. Everything I've looked at was nowhere nearas nice or complete.

 

I'll have to thank Pinball for this great find. A guy he works with and a friend of his each built trucks similar to this one. Between on guys ba*****t and the others back yard and garage they had a lot of spare parts. I can't believe that thease were the parts that they did'nt use. The only thing we got that we will have to replace is one rear fender. Every thing else is ready to bolt on.

 

I forgot to mention, it even came with a clear Michigan ***le.

 

S-10 Ch***ie!

Ther up here in the bone yard!

 

Thats the plan. We want a reg. cab short box frame with suspension and rear end and a side of fries.

 

I am going with ****o out to Kustombuilders today to work on the cab and bed. Maybe I can get ****o to bust out the camera and we can post some more pics.

 

Damn, "Pothole Surfers" is got to be one of the best club names i've heard. I wish I had thought of it! (Since Boston is nothing but potholes!).

 

The 50 ford grille in a 50's chevy PU ***aults the senses! I love it!
Now, I'll be loking for a shubox grille for my 41 Pontiac, one for my 55 chevy pickup, one for my 53 chevy tudor...my '02 chrysler 300-m, the kid's bike, my riding mower,....blah blah.....

 

maybe we can pick up that 59 chevy frame at the same time!
