THANKS!!!



It's not much right now - but it should come together rather quickly once Eric gets cranking on it. I kind of "sprung" this project on him when we were really discussing me just buying his 40 Ford PU... then he found me the body sitting in someones backyard out in Wyoming... and you see the result here.

Trucks looking very good Greg,that Roadster Shop chassis sure is nice

This is exactly the type of DD/shop truck I've been telling myself for years to build. (although I am afraid I'll take it too far!!)
My duramax is amazing when towing, but It's kinda dumb to fire it up every day for the 4 mile commute to the shop!
Looking good!

Thanks!! There's lots of builders of the 1935 to 1940 chassis - but I like the way Roadster Shop does theirs. It's just solid and will serve me well as a DD.

Steve --- Once I moved to Sun Valley -- where my normal driving is done a 25 MPH and I get a 4 block stretch at 35.... and the big trip for the day is running down to my "shed" --- a whopping 15 miles - mostly at 55 MPH or less.... Doesn't make sense to drive anything too fancy -- or too fast... So this pick up should serve me just fine. I had Gwen sell her Cayenne Turbo because most of her driving is about 3 or 4 miles total - at low speeds.... and my thought was that in the winter around here - the turbo oil would be sluggish as hell. So she got the GTS - and frankly we both like it WAY better. Better torque - and for me - lower to the ground. LOL

This pick up is going to be nothing but my DD -- and I agree with you - the hard part will be to keep it simple - and use materials and products that can hold up -- not need polishing - and if it gets dirty - so what.

Now -- trying to hold Tracey's (The Recovery Room) feet to the fire when he does the interior will be fun..... I want simple - clean - early - RUGGED... dog can puke on it and nobody will know... "style". LMAO

Well after seeing your others cars I am sure this truck will be bitchin!
I gotta show my pops the progress of the build, his retirement project is a 41 ford pick up. Once i finish up my cuda, i am gonna help him start tearing into that. Maybe when he sees this build he will want something besides a stock suspension and a flathead!!!
Cheers!

I was rolling with the bird dog theme and a fabric that would perform to your demanding standards.
