Re: Big Bird - 1972 Longhorn K30
Thanks guys!! It's been coming together we'll. I have some leaks that I will have to see to at some point. I have been working on the headache rack. I have just a couple more pieces to add for window protection then I will be sacrificing the original bed from this truck. I am going to cover the front side of the headache rack with sheet metal from the bed. Colored side facing forward. I will just spot weld in place. I think it will look pretty cool until I get around to blasting and painting the flatbed. A buddy came down this weekend and we made a wood splitter. For a tribute to these trucks the axle is a HO52 axle housing that didn't have a home. We made it out of things we had around the farm except for the hydro comtrol. Turned out pretty sweet. I can't wait to get the Bird road worthy and hook up the splitter and head to the woods.
