blazefox Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 What are you doing for the engine I used the kit engine with two carbs

misterNNL Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 This is looking really neat.Isn't it amazing what some weathering adds?I'll be watching closely.
blazefox Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Very cool havebu thought of using a big inline 6 diesel from a semi ?

Old Nasty Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 A friend of mine has a '48 Diamond Reo (no fenders) that looks an awful lot like the cab on your truck. It's sitting on an S10 chassis with an old Willy's bed. Pretty nice ride.
misterNNL Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 You've picked the perfect paint for this build.I love the"parked ouside for 50 years"streaked look to it.Very cool!!
bpletcher55 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) well here,s the motor that will power this beast ,it,s part chrysler and part 426 hemi ,the motor will be mounted behind the cab , Edited July 19, 2014 by bpletcher55
bpletcher55 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 motor mocked up ,had to make the bed just a bit longer ,radiator and gas tank will be mounted up front under the hood , [http://i62.tinypic.com/241a3o8.jpg
bpletcher55 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) moved the side mounts for the wood so they are evenly spaced ,started the paint on the bed ,this thing should be pretty sick looking going down the road , Edited July 20, 2014 by bpletcher55
bpletcher55 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 just so you guys know what I started with ,
MikeBoyle Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Coming along great. You definitely have the weathered look figured out.
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Man! Sweet! Love how this is turning out!
