Re: My 42 Project
The motor is at the machine shop and is going to be ready next week. Should go in on Saturday. Then I can make final adjustments to the cab. Also scored a rebuilt 700r4 for it and with a lokar shifter in the almost stock position, that will look cool. Pics next week. Thanks for subscribing

Re: My 42 Project
sorry it took so long to get back to this. I have seen that piece on ebay.
Sold the 54. The woodie is done so its time to get back to this |
Re: My 42 Project
so its been a while. Changed the idea back to the original direction. Built a gantry and moved the body back to the original chassis. Installed the new sbc and 700r4, ended up rebuilding it also. Used mounts for 47-53. the worked great just had to cut them to fit. Installed a 55 car rear end. Rebuilt it with 308 gears new bearings and brakes. Looking for a radiator that will fit with the radiator support brackets. I installed corvette cast iron exhaust manifolds and they are clearing the steering box so that is cool. I guy gave me some original 46 bed sides so I am on the hunt for steel rear fenders.

So the new radiator got here from Superior. It fits in the holeAttachment 1558436

Re: My 42 Project

Ok so the good thing is it fits in the hole. The holes in the flanges are not pre-drilled. Placement is up to you. I cut an inch off the flange so it would go lower in the radiator support. Gives me more fan cooling surface. Also it gives a little more room for the cap. It comes with the overflow on the correct side. I am not a fan of the angle that the flanges are mounted on but it also is at the same angle as the fan, so better cooling. I like the brass fittings, and the trans lines are sae instead of metric. Overall I like it.Attachment 1558438

Re: My 42 Project
Been a while since I have been on. Finished all the mechanicals and it runs great. I drove it back and forth in the garage. Had the grill chromed. Electrical is started and the basics are done. I am build a standard bed for the truck instead of the flatbed. I am missing rear fenders. Options are 350 each on fiberglass, 1941-46 models. 250 for fiberglass 37-38 fenders. I have not seen any steel fenders anywhere. Dont know that the 37-38 fenders will even work.
I saw a truck with 47-53 steel fenders but don't know how those work either. I have not seen a lower grill valance made out of metal. Might have to make one. Not a fan of fiberglass |

When we re looking for rear fenders we bought a complete 37 just for the rear steel fenders............. they did not fit!
The glass ones look great and just need a little support and they will work fine |
Re: My 42 Project
Thank you for the info. I knew this site would steer me right.
