Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...

You guys have spotted a lot of stuff, but this is what has been missed at this point.
No louvering has been done that I know of.
The frame is original, however it has been stretched.
Bed has been stretched.
My uncle is a big man so the Cab has been stretched and widened so he and my aunt can sit in the truck confortably to travel around the US pulling a fith wheel trailer behind it.
Nose has been stretched and I believe tilted back a little.
Custom Stainless steel grill inserts.
May other things have been done that can't be seen, like the custom interior, lator model strait front axle (47-55 I believe), front wheel disk brakes, custom dana 44 rear end with custom 4 wheel drive hubs so he can use the dual bearing design to better handle the fith wheel.

The engine (I believe) is a 55, 302 bored to a 310 in-line 6, with hand made headers and hand made aluminum 6 pack intake manifold. (Pumps out 300 ponies)
This truck is a workhorse. If he isn't tinkering on it, he is driving it..lol WES
