Not sure why this is making me smile.......... Just have a feeling you're going to teach us some lessons and I wish I could follow you around the garage for a while.

Could be the mystery of not knowing what the end result is going be so thanks for posting the build and giving up some photos.

As said before, thanks for sharing! Will watch and see what type of "monster" comes out of this creation! Good luck and God's speed!

God bless,
Tony

I managed to get the motor in the saddle yesterday. Me and my son took a ride up to Clint's house and procured a cab one front fender and a windshield frame. So far so good!

You have me stumped as what you are up to? I built a SAR truck (some assembly required) 1946 International KB-5 chassis, body built from 2" pipe, dog kennel tubing, bed frame angle iron, garage door track and sheet metal from local auto body stamping plant. Flat head 6, 4 speed and 2 speed manually shifted axle completed the SAR. Have fun. Mark

I'm building a deuce that will run highway speeds with automatic trans, power steering, a/c, with all the driveline from a 1990s school bus. It will be a two wheel drive street machine
And I'm trying to get everything together to make it a dump bed.

Well I managed to get the fuel tank mounted today. Starter mounted, new freeze plugs in the engine to replace the rusty ones.
