After owning the truck for 4yrs i finally got to drive it around the yard today. still tons work to do but hopefully i will have it on the road soon!

Just bought one from fordyford. Should have it next week cant wait to get my truck on the road!!!! Thanks fordyford

Looking for a good 1951 truck hood willing to drive for the right one. Please pm pics and asking price!

Well the clutch kit was wrong. Looks like rock auto is the only one that carries it.

Fire wall is gone the frame needs another coat and will be ready. 226 stripped of the trans. The right plate for the truck bell housing. I got the clutch kit in and now just have to find the right bolts to mate the bell housing to the trans.

Here is a better picture.
