Featured Hot Rods anyone here have trucks???

Here is my 1951 pickup which I purchased in 2012, and after 5 yrs of working on it, got it on the road in 2017.

Upgraded with a T5 on the 235 straight 6, dual master brake cylinder, completely rewired and upgraded to 12v with alternator, mid 70s rear axle with 3.42 gears, a few leaf springs removed, some patch panel replacements, and new (used) bed boards and rails.

I'd still like to lower it a few inches with a 3" dropped axle and the same amount in the rear with blocks. Also, would like to get the running boards and front bumper on (on my list for a few years now - lol).


I am currently painting my wheels black and turning my blackwalls into whitewalls with some Krylon fusion paint (we'll see how they hold up...).
I think this will make a big improvement to the overall look.

 

would love to see more of the show truck!!

 

This truck was my year round daily from 2017-2020.
In that time I put about 30k on a tired old Flathead, put 13 top loader transmissions in it (there was a learning curve there)

in 2020 the trans let go for the last time and I decided I was going to go through the engine and front end while I was out it.

So it’s got a fresh merc engine, a fresh trans, an old dropped axle from @Nailhead Jason and some new tierods.

since then I have it 90% back together but got busy with my coupe and finishing my garage.

Hope to get it back on the road someone soon!!
