Nice work, Green.
I've been doing metal fab for quite a few years...
I've also collected/amassed quite a collection of specialty tools over the years, and they've proven invaluable in the success of my work.
SOoooo....I was a bit excited to get a glimpse of the new "monkey foot" you mentioned.....

I guess I'll probably never get to own one of them dang things after all.

Green 1959 · 09-17-2011, 11:19 AM

HELP!! I'm getting ready to do some replacing of panels on my fenders. I need any advice you all might have, like if the rear brace should be touching the fender at the front of brace.

longbike · 05-13-2011, 01:12 PM

Ouch! be careful there 4 eyes! Lookin great!

dicer · 05-13-2011, 08:05 PM

That chain lift deal puts lots of stress on everything, it would be better to use the board deal to lift at the top door sills. I wish I could make fast head way like you did on the rear corners.

poncho_villa · 05-13-2011, 10:02 PM

I think you will have too much fun with that V8 and won't want a L6. Is that a 305 or 350?

Green 1959 · 05-14-2011, 10:53 AM

Its just a 305. I've had severeal V8 trifives and just think that having a 250 or something is more.... for lack of a better word interesting.

Green 1959 · 05-14-2011, 11:13 AM

My cab all NAKED!!!! Ahhh

Green 1959 · 05-14-2011, 11:17 AM

More stripped photos

Green 1959 · 05-14-2011, 10:58 AM

This is what he means.
Very cheap to make and will lift our cabs with ease.
This is a 54 ford and I use the same one for my cab.
If you need a better pic let me know.
By the way nice job on your truck.

Feel free to post pics of that also. This is a truck forum, but we ALL like them shoeboxes! And Chevelles, Novas, Camaros.....you get the idea!

Got any pictures of the fleetside box?

Green 1959 · 05-14-2011, 08:51 PM
