Mattilacken Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Incredible build! Remember seeing your engine earilier and blown away by it! This looks epic! Those sub assemblys are nice enough to be on display without the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorne Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Rear axle complete! Had to do the 4 link frame over again, the upper shock mounts went south after test fitting again,.... oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesG Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Very nice so far, well, except for the wheel and tire combo, sorry, but low pro tires on classic vehicles ( and most others too) looks terrible to me. But hey, each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Your right to each there own. I like the idea that there is a wide variety and combinations to choose from to create "your" own vision/version of a dream ride! the possibilities are endless!!

Steve H Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hi Lorne, not sure how I missed this thread for this long. WOW!! This is my kind of truck, what a beauty. Absolutely killer stance. It sure is inspiring to watch builders like yourself, Tim H, Francis L, Claude T, and others creates these incredible masterpieces. Looking forward to seeing the body in paint. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thank you Lorne for the sentiment you've shared. I'm getting anxious to see all these beautiful sub-assemblies on the truck. Granted I'm sure not as much as you are, but it's certainly shaping up to be a gorgeous build. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysCustoms Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Very nice work and attention to detail on the suspension!! I'm starting a build on a '55 Cameo Fleetside and your build has given me some great ideas, thanks for sharing. Where did you get the back half frame though or is that something scratch-built?

Lorne Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 The frame is scratch built for the 4 link. A ton of test fitting!! Good Luck and thanks for your interest!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think I may just throw my stuff away and watch here instead. Fabulous work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hey landman, don't throw anything away! This is a great hobby!! Mated the Muncie to the big block awhile back. Sure glad the internet has reference pics! Thanks for following along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 You did a great job with the 4 speed Muncie and shifter hardware Lorne! It's hard not to like a 3-pedal truck!!! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butter Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hey Lorne. Beautiful work with the RD Unique front end. The plumbing you added to the rack appears to be spot on. I am digging one of those out of my aftermarket stash to throw under my 56 F100. Like you, I wish I had a few more, I only have 2 that have not been used. As everyone else has already said, all of your work is fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hey butter Yes, I would really like to get a few more of the RD Unique front ends!! Would also like to see 3D printing of that same front clip!! I think "any" part will be available one day (3D printing). Or,.... you could have the talent like Francis or Tim! Just machine your own!! WOW! I still shake my head on their stuff?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of talent, you are pretty well equipped Lorne and you don't have to envy anyone, everything I have seen of your models is simply stunning, with obvious attention to detail and professional results! A feast for the eyes!!! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
