    I for one, liked the look of the tool box I agree a real keeper. Nothing luckier than a man with tools and nothing that needs fixin right now.

    If anyone has pics of the different ways they mounted a new Tanks inc tank in their 48-53 truck please share, I know it will involve some changes since the tank is inch shorter in length, and does not have the hump on top to make the spout come thru the cab a the correct location (looks like some floor mods again)(so much for the time I wasted making the top rubber seal) lol I will have to fab up something different for the front bracket since I do not have the stock trans cross member.

    Wow thats a big show. Where, and when is it?

    Going to be a great build. First I thought it was the same motor home engine I have when I saw the trans dipstick, but then I saw the distributor. Good luck http://p15-d24.com/topic/36054-basement-build/

    It might actually be better off mounted in the dodge truck, because it is not all the way to the very front of the window glass and some of the original dash is there for support in the weak spot, they did not seam to crack due to a thin material dash surface it was because the heat expand and contract was fighting against the way it was mounted in cruiser

    If you are gong to modernize it to be a dependable hauler, and were going with new gauges, ac, heat vents, steering ect With the cost of buying everything separate, and fabbing into place. I can see where this would be a real big savings. not to mention it looks great the only draw back I can even see is get the newest dash you can get that still fits the same, because the are know to crack over time, then protect it. (Have a PT cruiser) When you add up all you would buy to achieve the same look and function you can't beat it.

    Wow, sound like a real neat project, always loved the COE's can't wait to see some pics.

    Thanks I still have the CAB on the Front Porch to mock things up, prior to stripping it the rest of the way and starting body work. Will have to work fast due to alot of rain Cover on cover off pain in the A___.

    Basically the MII crossmember butts up against the bottom of the frame and then it is all gusseted and the frame rails are boxed. I will see if I can dig up some pics.

    I kinda thought you were going with a patriotic theme
  18. ruff1148kr
    thanks for the info. will check it out...
  19. ruff1148kr
    Well it took a little doing, but I finally got the motor out the basement (No easy task), and into the frame, so I can start to figure out the rest of this puzzle. Steering and drive shafts, fuel tank and much more. Already looks as if Starter may get in the way, May have to look into smaller starter. Sometimes it feels as if I'm doing everything twice LOL.

    Keven sent message thanks hope they turn up. Your the Best. Dropped the engine in frame today so I can Mock up a bunch more stuff. Stepped on new air cleaner to carb adapter (cracK) what a clutzzzzz thank God it was cheap. Will try to post a few pics tonight after car club meeting

    1948 vacuum going to try to switch to electric newport engineering motor, but (have abnormal space issue and will have change their pre- designed system by rotating the motor 180 degrees to clear under dash shifter. plan to try using these type transmission because the are equal length and and that should mean that the park position on the motor will be the same. I hope
  23. ruff1148kr
    Very impressive how fast you figured it all out. Makes me think that the frame swap was the way to go. I stayed away from it because a lot that you see do not have the front wheels centered in the wheel well. You pulled it of and fast. You have talent and drive to make this a great truck you will be able to drive everyday. Feeling pretty stupid right now..... looking forward to seeing more
  24. ruff1148kr
    Got to say, loved your ac plumbing inside the fender will try to see I can do some thing similar even though my condenser is set up different did not think of drilling thru that curved front shield like that, my hole saw died on that tough old steel and had go old school to get it done

    One of my wiper pivots is missing the spline cap that the wiper arm attaches to. can this be repaired? is it pressed on? where would I find one to try?
