The truck has a definite cool look and stance but I can't help but be bothered by how low the centre part of the frame is in relation to the rest of the rolling chassis. Up here in the frozen tundra, our cars have to pass a "scrub line" test. Put simply, in the event of a tire (or all four) blowing out, no part of the chassis can touch the ground. Just one guy's random observation.
The radiator is in it's natural mounting position, 21" tall & 18" wide. The scrub line is out of wack, but I don't plan on four flat's at once. The frame at it lowest point is 4" of the ground. It is not chopped or channeled & the top of the cab is 60"tall.
TO freekin cool. __________________________________________________________ Like I told the kid,"Your music not too loud, it just sucks!" P.S. Real steel 32's live forever!!!!!!!!!!!
That is going to be one nice truck that looks like it will be great to drive. Thanks for sharing the photos of the chassis, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who saved them for future reference.
Your Deuce Pick-up is VERY NICE.But not nice in a poncey way,but V-E-R-Y N-I-C-E nodin' of head said slowly kinda way!
Hey Gilligans, nice to hear from you. Glad ya like my new project, I have fired the motor now. As soon as I finish my customers interior I am going to run brake lines, fuel lines. Then I can run it around the block. Say Hi to the guys up north.
I took these this morning, I will try to get some of the chassis I know you guys wanted to see that. PPG basecoat with PPG 894 clear and 759 flattener.
I will have the chassis pics tomorrow. They are on a different camera. The wheels, interior and tonneau cover will match the grill insert.
I need to get a better picture of these skirt like pieces that go under the bed and cover the frame rail, it made the bed "fill up" the rear of the truck, instead of that little box just sitting on top of the frame.
