Wow you found a farmer that was willing enough to let that go?

Badass find tho, thats the kinda thing some ppl dream about finding.

poolmike · 08-01-2009, 07:47 AM

Got my new gas tank yesterday. I will hopefully get it all painted and installed today...and get this thing running on it's own power!

Honest_Bob · 08-01-2009, 09:26 AM

Nice pickup Mike. I'm sure it'll be just as badass as your other projects.

poolmike · 08-01-2009, 09:37 AM

It won't be badass...it is coming out just like it is now, for while.

poolmike · 08-11-2009, 11:25 PM

Boxes of new parts showing up everyday. Sent the radiator out to Michigan as a template for my new aluminum radiator. It is going to get fun real soon.

HickRocket1258 · 08-12-2009, 08:16 AM

That's awesome you found that. My dad has a '41 Chevy pickup. That thing is so much fun and gets so many looks.

motorvated · 08-12-2009, 12:02 PM

man this is SICK. I want one, always have.

CarbonIS · 08-12-2009, 12:08 PM

CHAOS · 08-12-2009, 12:12 PM

Who is your buddy from TJC? Jeff, Rich, or?? I have been involved with them since February. You should come to a meet. 200+ members there this month.

DocWalt · 08-12-2009, 07:42 PM

That's awesome! All of the cars of yours I've seen are insanely awesome actually...

Thanks! They are all actually just old junk that no one else in their right mind would consider driving...

CarbonIS · 08-14-2009, 10:43 AM

at least that's how you justify buying them to your wife....lol

poolmike · 08-21-2009, 10:59 PM

Some progress. Got the front king pin bushings installed and reamed with my new king pin bushing reamer. New wheel cylinders at all 4 corners with all new brake lines and hoses. New 1967 Chevelle master cylinder installed. 2 new water pumps and engine mounts installed. Now I am waiting on my new radiator to be built and delivered.

Here it is with most of the nose ripped off..

Passenger side water pump and motor mount

Look at that Flathead! New master cylinder mounted up. Hard to imagine, this truck had mechanical/non-hydraulic brakes.

Great find! Definitely wish you luck with it!

Proven · 08-23-2009, 07:49 PM

That thing is awsome man! Good luck with it!

poolmike · 08-24-2009, 08:39 AM

Thanks for the good luck wishes. I'm going to need it here. The most painful process is waiting for parts to arrive. I will drive this thing as soon as I have a radiator. I need to know if the rest of the drivetrain is good.

Scapegoat · 08-24-2009, 10:04 AM

needs a blower

awesome truck mike, love the color

poolmike · 08-24-2009, 02:21 PM

New radiator should be here Wednesday! Time to order some suspension parts.
