| Looking for a Hot Rod, but
don't have $60,000 for a street rod? 35-42 Ford, Chevy,
and Mopar truck cabs are readily available and cheap! |
|
|
| After we rob the $96 2
1/2 ton truck of its cab, grill,
steering box, and headlights, we can start our Hot Rod...But
not until we build our new frame. |
|
|
| With our custom made 2X3,
120 wall tube frame, we start mocking up our spring behind,
6in. drop tube axle with Toyota rear leaf sprung rearend
and SB Chevy engine and transmission mounts. |
|
|
| After sandblasting our cab,
we mount it to our rolling chassis and start our custom
header, exhaust, and steering. |
|
|
| New Floor - using 20 gauge
steel... |
|
|
And now the CHOP...
Brace it first!!! |
|
|
| Roof first, fit door second. |
|
|
| Weld it up then take out the
bracing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Now that we have the attitude
of the Truck looking good, we tear the whole thing down
for our $10,000 paint job, haha just kidding - satin black
only. |
