The axle under my 57 LCF is a 2003 GMC w4500 (same as NPR). It was extreemly close to the same width of the original axle and it had the same 6...
I think Buddsauto in Ohio has some of the doors you are looking for..... http://www.buddsautoonline.com/home
I have been mounting one at the front of the bed so I can see to hook up my 5th wheel....the bed is so high you can not see it unless you are...
Looks Great
I dont think is is an Isuzu chassis...the hub covers look too small to cover the big 6 bolt pattern....
Videos are great. Truck turned out very nice....

When I had the vortec 350 in my truck I used a dipstick from a 1999 chevy van. I also used the valve cover and oil fill tube. It brought it to...
I think they look cool.
I try to foster my kids in learning the trades of hot rodding. They are only 9 and 10 but spend time in the garge with me. They know their way...
Not a ford guy but if that was close to PA I would be all over it........wait...I drive a Ford to work everyday....LOL
Seems a bit pricy but it looks solid and pretty much all there.
Sky, If your looking for something a little beefier, look for a 70's gmc fwd motorhome. they used the same setup as the eldo/toro but is...
I would go with the pocket in the fender idea like mcgyver brought up. It will get you up and running quicker. I personally would make them...
I've got 2 at my house if you lump the LCf trucks into the cab over category. One registered and one waiting.....I do not see many but I am in...
Probably not many. As far as the LCF trucks go...1955 is a 1 year only cab and front fenders. 1956-57 were the same and 1958-59 were the same....

Big Bertha aveages 14 mpg unloaded and 10 mpg with the 11,000 lb camper. Vortec 454, 4L80E, 5.38 gears, 9r-22.5 tires.
12v Cummins are pretty tall. I looked at awaping one ito big bertha and I would have to redo the floor and firewall to get it to fit.

Looks like it started out life as an isuzu NPR tow truck....the wheels, bolt pattern and the hole in the bumper give it away....It looks like it...
I used the one out of the 2003 gmc w4500 donor. I like it. It offers many differnt positions so who ever is driving can make it comfortable.
Good to see your are back on this... the dash looks really good.
I believe the track width on the P30 is going to be way too wide both front and rear. The late 90's 3500HD would be a much better choice.
its where the 454 that is in Big Bertha came from. I am parting out the body and saving the chassis...for what...who knows. My wife wants an...
K18...Welcome....be sure to joint the COE group here.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=333 Start a build thread so we can...
