A few members have asked me to put pics of my truck rebuild on here.I know its not a Ford,so any probs and i will remove the thread.It does have a Ford Mustang front clip and a Ford 9"rear if that helps,lol.
I had it shipped over from the states and it arrived a week befire Christmas.I work on it when i can and have done alot in the time ive had.

 

 

 

Nice, have a real soft spot for old american pick up trucks.

 

Boxed in the chassis.

 

Chassis primed and started on the cab
Welded up unwanted holes in bulkhead
and smoothed it

 

De-badged and removed center strip from bonnet and welded it up and then smoothed it off.Filler work on doors ect.

 

Fuck dude you've killed it!

Good luck with the resto

 

Great resto project

 

 

Excellent...will save me checking the rods and sods forum..welcome fella

 

wicked will be keeping an eye on this!

 

Cab flatted and painted black clear over base

 

Gonna follow this.
Awesome.

Good luck.

 

That is coooooooooool
Looks pretty simple to dismantle is it ?

 

Now upto date with pics.Wings and inner wings blasted,cheers Mr Ginn.
Got them welded up and filled and polyester primed.Got the cab back on the chassis.Filled primed and painted the backs of the doors

Cheers mate

 

Thanks alot mate

 

Thanks alot

 

Cheers mate.Yes mate it was easy to take apart,just hope it goes back as easy lol.The bonnet didnt line up when i bought it so i tried everything but still couldnt get it to line up.Went on a American website and a guy had a step by step guide of 14 stages of how to line up the front end.Basicaly if you dont position the rad support in the correct place then nothing will line up.There is a 3" height adjustment on that rad support and it took me a day and a half to line up the front end and then took it all back off to prep.cheers paul

 

Very nice mate, in fact ive made a little mess in my pants
