Might the LED tail lights be multi purpose stop/tail lights? One wire for ground, one wire for parking/tail lights, and the third for stop? Not familiar with them, just throwing a theory out there. Damon

The red one reminds me of some fire apparatus from the early to mid 1940's. The blue one is definitely unique, that's about all I can think to say about it. Thanks for sharing. Damon

Lovin' this thread, Rico!!! Damon

Welcome to the group! Thanks for posting the story and photos. Looking forward to following the progress as your project takes shape. Damon

Don't wait, Nate. I lost my dad when I was 15 and would give anything to have just one more conversation with him. Rico is right... it's never too late. Please do it while you have the opportunity. You will thank yourself. Damon

If you're gonna use the Speedway kit (or any other kit, for that matter), I urge you to be absolutely certain which caliper brackets come with the kit. I bought kits from two vendors: Speedway first, then our host. The brackets with each kit hit the steering stops bolted to the half-ton axle...

This is the exact path that I chose, but it's gonna be a while before I can attest to any cheers or jeers. Having a matching front and rear bolt pattern was important for my OCD I guess. :eek: Damon

Thanks, Paul! I echo your sentiment about having a concrete floor. I'm hoping to get the concrete floor done in my shop this summer/fall, but we'll see. The extra space is a huge deal, and I'm grateful for that... don't get me wrong. But not being able to move stuff into storage in the new...

Come on up, John! You and Rico can both bring your trucks up here and work on them, since I can't seem to get any work done on my own. Hahaha!! Damon

Thanks, man! I'm actually building my truck in the two-car garage that is attached to the shop... and I have a BUNCH of stuff stored at my girlfriend's dad's shop. As soon as I get the chance to clean up my own place, I plan on bringing all of the components to my project truck home so I can...

Jerry, You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for sure. Take your time during recovery and don't over-do it. Terry has some good advice, too! God Bless. Damon

I've always used: http://www.entirecraigslist.com/ But I like the idea of one search engine looking through both craigslist and ebay. Thanks for the link, Tubby! Damon

John, Looks like you made it out and back safely... I'd call the trip a success! Is the photo of the horse one that you brought home for the missus?? Gotta love the Sinclair station signs... except for the gas prices!! :D Damon

Well, here ya go, Nate... a couple of pictures of the steel ceiling finished. The walls are up, and the corner trim is up, but I still have to trim out the bottom of the steel panels before I put up the plywood below the steel. Thanks again to Jim for coming over the other day and helping me...

Looking good, Rico! I rebuilt the door hinges for my truck with a bushing kit from our host. I know you don't need that now, just saying... in the future, if these hinges wear out, too. :D Great work! Damon

Great write up, Russ... like the other fellas said, thanks for sharing!! I just finished putting up the tin in my shop, so now I gotta get back to work on my project truck's 235 engine. After that's buttoned up, I'm moving on to the T-5 transmission. This write up is perfect for me. I...

Not possible. LOL :D The build thread for my 1950 Chevy pick-up turned into a combination thread including my old fire trucks and the building of a new shop in which to work... all at our members' requests! Keep the photos comin'!! Damon

So far, so good, John! I really, REALLY, REALLY like the back bumper on your truck. I'd like to find or make one like this for my project truck. Does it have a manufacturer's tag riveted to it anywhere? Or do you think it's home-built, perhaps? Sorry to hear of the loss of your horse...

Great job on getting the pictures posted! Love the story that goes along with your project. Looking forward to many more pictures and following your progress. Keep us posted!! Damon

Ah yes, the joys of cab patch panel work. I've only scratched the surface (pun intended) with the body work needed for my project truck. Looks like you've got a good handle on things. Thanks for sharing the photos! Damon
