Thanks for the compliment, Nate. Feels good to have that part done. Yesterday I went and picked up the transmission I've been looking for...
Looking forward to seeing photos!! Damon
Well, I must preface this post by asking another favor of you fine folks: if I ever, and I mean EVER say that I wanna brush paint a frame (or any...
Didn't know that, but I do now, thanks. I'm out in the garage, heat cranked up... the plan for today is to get the two base coats of Rust Seal...
Hindsight being 20/20, I should have cleaned/degreased just the spots where I found grease lurking after having the frame sandblasted. Instead, I...
1952Bowtie, I'm trying to do this project on a budget (aren't we all), so I opted for KBS Coatings' Rust Seal paint versus the powdercoat. If...
Ok, here are a few photos before I get started cleaning and painting. First one is the set of rear spring mounts Martinius found me on eBay....

Thanks, Zig! Well, the weather hasn't cooperated with my plans this past week. The frame was finally sandblasted today. I was able to run home...
Thanks for posting the pictures. That'd be a hoot to see sometime. Does anyone have info on the hood ornaments shown on the Advanced Design...

That's good advice, Nate. I bought my first project truck from craigslist, but only after driving to see it in person, and then stewing about the...
Martinius, I know there are third-party programs and websites that search all of craigslist. None are actually affiliated with craigslist, so...
Today I fixed the lil 'whoops' with the fork truck from a couple weeks ago that bent the rear cross member. I then leveled the frame on the jack...
Went back and read all of your posts... great work! Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Damon
Thanks for the tip, Nate. I noticed a few places with the naked eye that looked like they may be distorted a hair, but in checking (with the...
Well, the bad new is: I don't think there's much point in removing the busted stud from the Thriftmaster Special Six exhaust manifold. After...
I realized it was out of a bread truck or cab over. What I didn't realize... it isn't all that special. :D Point taken about the stud stuck in...
Thanks, Martinius... but that is the exact engine I bought. I will probably just try to trade for an intake and/or exhaust manifolds for the 235 I...
