Re: Mike D's 50 pickup build

Engine pretty much done detailing. Cam should be here in a few days. Got a new timing chain and behive valve springs also. Don't know what size pushrods I need so will install cam first and figure it out. Buddy's got a fancy adjustable pushrod for me to use.




So finally started the cab, scary stuff in there. It's tough to fix a cab while maintaining that rusty exterior. Anyway this pic is when i was getting started this morning. Made pretty good progress but forgot to take pic.



Frame is now getting put back together and rear axle width is figured out. Am putting 10" wide tires with 315r35 20" tires. Frame is presently beeing narrowed. Will tub it from the inside. Will post pics soon. All rivets have been removed and nuts welded-in instead. Lots going on this week. Am on holidays.

Got a lot of ol'school hot rodders taking a look at my project and they dont get that Patina lowrider stance i'm going for, lol.
