No -- he's not a big "communicator"... but it really doesn't matter -- it's a 1940 Pickup found in a backyard with weeds growing up around it. I know we're planning to replace the p/u box and both rear fenders. I'll just do fiberglass rear fenders from Wescott's for $500 a side and you can buy an entire new bed way cheaper than fixing a rotted out one.

This is going to be such a cool piece!




Thanks Brandon.... It's looking pretty good in clean blasted steel! I'm really interested in seeing how the bottom of the cab looks.

Because JCG hasn't "proofed" his '35 to '40 Ford chassis.... mine is being built by The Roadster Shop....



Sneak peek..... LOL... taken right off their advertising.

IRS?

So what'd you decide on the running gear?

Ford 9" - coil overs

IFS - coil overs

Brakes

Frame rails with some cross members

Wheelbase stretched one INCH in order to center the wheels in the wheel well openings 'cause FORD didn't. It's an old hot rodder trick - one that Payton learned accidentally but we digress.

1" won't be enough.

Nice call on the brakes and crossmembers...

Ass.
