[NsaneHotrodz]

The client wants a stock appearing truck for now..... that is very reliable and drivable. It will recieve a heidts IFS front suspension, ididit column, 9" rearend, 4-link, new brakes, and a 6.0 with the 4L80. Should have the harness, computer, and gas pedal assembly back in two weeks.:D

[N2TRUX]

Nice project. My guess is the "near stock" mentality will change as he sees the build come along.

[Hdesign]

Cool project, love those classic pickups!!:thumbsup:

[MaxHarvard]

Looks good! :)

[DIGI-TAILS]

Great choice of vehicle. Good luck to your endeavor. Cheers!!!! ;)

[waynieZ]

That should be a nice ride.

[NsaneHotrodz]

Thanks everyone! I'm waiting on parts, but I should have more pics up by the end of the week.:D

[NsaneHotrodz]

N2TRUX you were correct sir! I'll be starting on the new firewall and floor pan next week along with replacing most of the sheet metal on the cab. Still waiting on parts, my new Mittler Bros 36" bead roller with a 4" throat should be here next Friday.:unibrow:

Glad to see it moving forward. I think most of us know from experience how that "keep it simple" line of thinking goes. I was just going to change the oil, next thing ya know I got the engine on a stand....:lol:

[NsaneHotrodz]

The chassis should be finished this week. Just got my new Mittler Bros. bead roller, so on to the firewall and floor!:D

[NsaneHotrodz]

Sweet progress buddy! Whats the first show you going to with it?
It's a small local show in Morristown, I'd like to take it to the Good Guys Show but we may take the 48' instead.

this thing looks so sweet man. Keep up the great work. :willy:

Thanks will do!

Great progress. That cab is looking really good.

Thanks we started the wiring this week, its getting close!

[scottysimp7]

Nice looking 52. I wish I had your shop! Sweet!

[NsaneHotrodz]

Nice looking 52. I wish I had your shop! Sweet!

Thanks, I started in a 20'x24' garage before I built this one. Makes me apprectiate it alot more.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Nice looking work, Firewall is very good

[waynieZ]

Its looking great ! I love the silver one in the background.

[NsaneHotrodz]

When I get a little further along I'll start a build thread on it. The owner wants to keep it on the "DL" until its almost ready for paint.:lol:

DeWayne

[NsaneHotrodz]

The cab is now back on the chassis and the wiring has begun. I think we've finally decided on a color for the truck! I'll spray some test panels next week and post some pics. DeWayne
