Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I absolutely love the pinstripes. Every time I look at your thread, I end up going back and looking at all of the striping pics. Very nice, keep up the good work.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Thanks so much for the kind words! I've tried to cover every aspect of what I've done and make it it simple enough for most any car/truck nut! And not to sound like a bad guy, but to everyone who PMs me asking questions, READ the captions next to the pictures as I explain everything and tell what parts are from what. Thanks again!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I went out and took this to show my latest addition to the truck. I found it on EBAY and had to have it for the whole look!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
It'll be awesome to see that thing finally in the garage. That old '47 Ford was growing roots! If there was any good thing that came out of it being stored outside for so long, it was the fact that the elements helped make the patina even better.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I'm pretty stoked I'm back on this thing! I do need a little help though. I need to find some hood emblems that have the "Thriftmaster" logo on them. I have these

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I installed door weatherstrip this weekend and what a PAIN! Wow, was that fun! After cleaning up the jambs of the old glue with an old screwdriver and small wire brush, I rinsed it off with water and did a quick squirt of brake cleaner (be careful and dont get any on the rest of the truck) to make sure it was really clean

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Now this is a hose trick I learned years ago and even though I had an idea of what I needed, I figured I'd show it. Take a piece of welding rod and bend it to the shape of how you want your radiator hose to go. Take the wire to the parts store and match it up. Mine were pretty simple, but you get the idea

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
My friend Alex and myself went on another wrecking yard mission and scored some of these lights that are on early to late 90's Chevy pickups and mounted on the inside passenger side fender.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yeah! Fired up the motor today and got the cam broke in! Was so awesome to finally hear that thing run! It's not much, but I put a short video on Youtube just to give you an idea of how it sounds. It sounds waaaaay better in person!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yes, it was a good day yesterday. To hear it light off for the first time and run for the cam break in was a bit nerve racking (the longest 20 minutes you'll ever spend), but once the little issues were sorted out, it ran really nice. That little 350 suprised me in how quick it revs, and it really sounds good in person. The Magnaflows sound mellow at idle but come alive when you romp on it. I was really impressed by them as well. No Flowmasters for me!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
how tall are your blocks in the back and how many springs do you have left. Im trying to figure out the cheapest way to lower my truck. I already have 3" blocks and there are a tottal of 5 leafs in the back. Have a mono leaf up front and getting ready to install a drop axle. Your build is amazing I enjoy checking it out.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
engine sounds great, what carb you running?
also you can get repro thriftmaster emblems from classicparts.com It would be great to find some originals, but if you really need them it is nice to have the repro option. I once bought an original set off ebay and only to find out they were loadmasters, when they showed up. I guess I was seeing what I was thinking. I'm def a fan of magnaflow from all the ones I have heard
