Well here it is, my last 7-8 months have been pretty much consumed by her. It sits on a shortened dodge dakota ch***is and suspension. Was originally a bagged minitruck but I finally saw the light and found something better to occupy my time. Tires and wheels are leftovers from the before mentioned truck and are already off. Plan for steel and WWW's. Anyways its on its way and just thought I'd share what I been working on.
I'm so glad you saw the light because I bet that old panel will be awesome when you get done... more awesome that it already is.
Very Cool, got any other pics of the build? i have a 1939 International D-2 short wheel base panel (same main body as your K).
Neat body style. I'm imagining it with full bumpers (no rolled pans or anything like that) and '39 Ford headlights. But really, you can't go wrong from here, good use of the Dakota ch***is.
I have a nice set of inner door handles and window cranks for one of those if you are interested. Looks good so far.
Thanks alot for the compliments guys. This is by far the funnest build i've done so far. I'll get some more pictures on here soon. I found this rig near me in upper michigan. It came from Tuscon and my buddy has know about it sitting for a few years in MI. Then tells me one day Oh, I didn't know you were into that sort of thing. So here it is, I saved it from getting put on a 4X4 Blazer ch***is by the guy I got it from. I just got some build goodies in the mail so I'm back at it again.
Joe, That conversion is going to make a neat ride for you. Keep us posted with your progress. 41 Dave
Few more pics. Still been bustin ***. Got a new grill and few more odds and ends. Going to start making the rear floor today.
Dang!!! Almost 4 years... Sorry to bring this back up, well not really Finally got her back in the shop.. Getting time to start again. Just thought i'd post up a couple of pics when I drug it out of it resting place. Trying to locate an old adapter from a 60's Dodge truck or van with an slant 6 auto. I'm planning on tossing the V-6 and rolling the leaning tower of power hopefully with my OD Dakota trans granted I find that adapter...
