So glad I found this build, I've been tossing the idea of doing a gasser build with my 68, but hadn't seen anyone try it yet. I love it and I think you just sold me on the idea.

Glad you like it. I tossed around the idea of going with a straight axle front but didn't.

I have both a factory ifs front end and a straight axle out of a mid 40s Chevy truck. My truck was originally a 4x4 K20 so the straight axle will be pretty easy to do and I believe that is the route I'm heading in, but I'm sure the ifs would be a lot nicer to drive.

Cut the door bottoms and had them sand blasted. Plan to spray some epoxy primer in the next few days.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-19-2017, 03:27 PM

Nice work! I hope all went well with your surgery earlier this spring.

Threerun · 06-19-2017, 04:37 PM

That paint is gorgeous!

88fordf150 · 10-15-2017, 09:19 AM

Getting a little closer to being done. Covered the inside door panels with copies from old drag racing magazines to match the headliner.

Just found this thread, any updates? This is a really cool truck.

88fordf150 · 09-16-2018, 10:24 AM

A few more pictures.

BRASSHEAD · 09-19-2018, 10:15 AM

Your truck is looking really good. What size front tire are you running. And how does the blown big block sound?

215/70R15 tires on the front. Motor sounds goooood! Jones two chambered mufflers with 3" exhaust dumped in front of rear axle.

This is going to be sweet, keep us updated with your progress. Thanks

Truck looks beastly!! Got any more of those cool stars n stripes tachs laying around? I saw in another thread you had made them yourself! Too cool!

I have the decals but no tachs, I haven't done any for a while.

Indychus · 11-07-2018, 09:42 AM

Wow! Killer truck. I love the gasser look. Subscribed.

BRASSHEAD · 12-03-2018, 04:20 PM

I noticed you did some header work after you painted them, around the steering. Do you have any pictures of that.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the header mods. I started with a set of BBC fenderwell headers for a 55 Chevy. I had to cut them at the head flange and raise them and then cut and angle both collectors. Probably would have been better off to start from scratch.

BRASSHEAD · 05-29-2019, 10:09 AM

any updates?

RCbowtie69 · 12-28-2019, 08:54 AM

This a cool build,love the Gasser look!!! Keep the pictures coming & keep on truckin""

88fordf150 · 06-28-2020, 05:27 PM

Got the OEM bedsides sandblasted on the inside and ready for epoxy primer. Also put a finish on the bed wood awhile ago.

jjzepplin · 06-28-2020, 05:43 PM

Keep up the good work. A little a day will eventually get it all done. I can't wait.

CG · 06-28-2020, 06:17 PM

Any chance you posted pictures or a how to anywhere on the web about how you did your tach and gauge panel with the stars and stripes? Tach looks like a Garlits version. I have a couple of old tachs and would love to try that paint job out myself.

Thought you might like a picture of one part of my shop. Pic from back when I first did it. I put the covers on sort of like a craft person does Mod Podge. I used water thinned Elmers Glue. Shops a huge mess now
