    5 window or 3 window?

    I like my three window but you do have to be careful when changing lanes for sure!

    who sells best rear fenders

    Awesome good of course. I usually spend most of my money at the sponsers store but I had a special need and found the wider rear glass fenders on a featured truck in classic truck magazine.

    who sells best rear fenders

    I bought my 2.5 inch wider rear fenders from Superior Glass Works. www.superiorglassworks.com They offer steel parts for 47-53 Chevys also. My glass fenders and running boards are AWESOME!

    How to install Trique latch kit.

    When I go to put the door handle back on the outside of the door, what is the secret to getting the screw tightened. This latch has less range of motion than the original setup. I cannot turn the handle down far enough to tighen the screw. Any thoughts anyone? Other than that... BEAUTIFUL!!

    Big James has a Sweet ride!

    "Oh Hell Yeah!" That's what I said to myself when I saw the pics of this truck. Nice job so far.

    Dropped frontaxle

    Im running a 3 inch dropped axle. We modified the steering arms ourselves by adding a section to them to acheive some clearance between the tie rod and the leaf springs. Definately lower and a little tricky to drive. I need shocks badly.

    Possible cure for those crappy door latches

    YES!! This looks like the cure to most frustrating aspect of my truck, getting the doors to latch without the brutal slam that turns everyones head in the crowd. Very embarrasing. New door latches just aren't the answer. Have not found one that works as it should.

    Wide fenders

    As you can see I have some really deep whells on the rear of the truck. We miscalculated the offset of the rim. I would rather just send the rims back have the centers moved about .5 of an inch but my friend cobuilder didn't like the results when he did that with another set. Classic trucks...

    Wide fenders

    Has anyone put (2-3 inch) wider fenders on their 47-54 truck? I think I am about to go for it. Will have to go with the flared running boards also. If anyone has do you have a picture?

    One more spring question...

    If you have never changed the old ones out then they probably have a flattened sided to them from the years of wear. on mine, after I removed the nut, I just continued to wrench out the bolt as if it was threaded.

    '51 Project for my boys and me

    There are a few recent ones while the truck is in various stages of rebuild and a few when it sat real high. Still not as low as I want it to be but someday. Sorry guys, Im rodding it.

    lock Pin Blues

    I am replacing king pins and lock pins. I have beat on the left one for four days and it has not moved a bit. I need a bigger hammer I know for a fact.

    lock Pin Blues

    How do you get these stinkin' lock pins outta the front axle on a 51' without heating them up or removing the front axle all together? Does a c press (for u-joints) have enough guts to press these pins out?

    What rear end from a doner car/truck?

    Does anyone know the width of your diff, axle plate to axle plate? I'm trying to determine l how wide to have a moser built to put a 10 inch wide rim in the rear fenders. I will also be mini tubbing the inside of the bed. I figure a 4.5 offset rim will give me the effect I am looking for.

    Engine runs on

    Mine does this also but due to the fact that I have an electric radiator fan wired straight to the ignition. The draw of the fan keeps the current flowing for a few seconds I am told.
