Thank you! After reading so many builds and working through mine, there are a bunch of things I'm buying and doing different on the next one.

Re: Beulah - '49 3100LS10

I'm so jealous every time I see someone else's welds. Awesome job. When do you think you will be driving it?

Re: Beulah - '49 3100LS10

So back when back when I blasted the cab, I discovered that the bottom of the dash was pretty rough. Since I want to keep the cab pretty stock, bought a portion of a dash from PaulsPickupParts and was crazy enough to try to weld it in.

Took my time with both the fit (used a file) and welds, and it turned out damn near perfect.

There is a glimpse of my six-year-old in one of those door repair pics.

I say, before he gets his Learners Permit...

Re: Beulah - '49 3100LS10

When he was really young, he used to stick whatever bolts I could find, into whatever holes they would fit into in the frame. Some day I'll be fixing all those rattles.
