42 Chevy Truck daily driver build.

Thanks I will get some pics tomorrow I have to roll it out of the garage anyways.

 

Ok I have been away from the truck for a while because of the Honey Dew list but I am back on it and hope to have it out this weekend for sure.

 

Nice work man , always enjoy your art and style ...

 

Thanks LabRat for those who are interested I was able to run it for a couple minutes and so I drove it back into the garage

Today I am planning to hang the driver side rear fender and running board. and then maybe taking it for a spin

 

What frame did u use the longbed...extended cab or short bed?

 

I am not sure because I bought the ch***is from a friend and there was no body on it. I can measure the wheel base of it if you want. I did however shorten my box 6 inches and I now have a 6 foot box

 

Me too..........

 

Thanks

 

Bumper is on and driverside running board is on just have to fit the driverside rear fender and install the wood in the bed.

 

Should be able to drive it tomorrow hopefully.

 

*****in lil truck, beautiful dash.burn some rubber

 

Thanks GaryB.

 

Well I finally got to drive the Farm truck for first time today and its first time on the road since 1955

 

That looks good Man, nice job.

 

Congrats man, good to see it going down the road. One day I will have mine out there..lol

 

Thanks everyone! Now I plan to get the bugs worked out and drive the tires off of it. I will post pics of it on it's journey's with me

 

We going to see it at Moravia?

 

RustyNewYorker maybe I have some Art work I need to do and I save a 33 Ford 4 door the other day that has me thinking, but I am hoping to have it at Little York

 

This is it when I brought it home and unloaded it.

 

This is what it looked like when I found it and where it was hiding for who know how many years.

 

Well with everything that has been going on I had to stop on this. But the new radiator is in and well it is time to get the "Farm Truck" rolling again

 

...looks like it turned out real nice; just the way I'd want it too.

 

WOW pretty sharp, kicking some ****

 

Sharp truck. Time for a drive!!

Thanks

I am getting the new radiator finished up tomorrow so hopefully this weekend I will get it out and see if everything is good to go.

 

I will get pics tomorrow of it all installed.

 

Well I got a cell phone pic of the dash in.

 

Some shots frome today. I have just recentely been able to work on the truck again since New Years Eve. My eldest son Geno who is 12 years old had been diagnosed with Rheumatic fever and was hospitalized for a little over a week. After he was in stable condition we were able to bring him home and it has been a very scary experience so far. He is just now starting to show signs of recovery but is not out of the woods yet. His heart has two valves that are leaking one worst then the other and hopefully in time it will repair itself. If not then he may need a surgery. Geno has been out of school since before Christmas and he is restricted to being under home care and home schooled at the moment. The nice thing is that our school had brought over a video system that allows him to participate in daily cl***es. This has been a great think for him to be able to interact with his peers and the teachers. But since he has been home I have noticed his interst in the cars has began to grow. So today he wanted to take some pics with the 42 I though you know it is a nice day why not. So these are some pics of my boy.

As for working on the truck I had recently put a new aluminum 3 core radiator in the truck so now I can get it ready for this year. Geno is already bugging me about going in the truck and I want to teach him to drive on this one.
