Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Wow! I've been gone a couple years and most of the builds I was following are now done. Glad I get to see yours being finished. After I box my frame and put the power train together, I can load up my truck behind the MoHo and be at your place on a few days. You can call me after you get it painted. Deal?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Whew! That's looks flatly b!tchin, Bam! Huge kudos on that choice. Your truck is absolutely gonna ROCK when we all see it at the Brothers Show....in about 2020, ha ha. Kidding. You'll be there before you know it and we'll all be drooling over it....as opposed to drooling ON it. Those guys you can slap, ha ha

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Oh hey, not to hijack your thread but is that Jimmy celery color or is it the lighting that makes it looks like that and it's really more tan or vanilla colored?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Nice work, Bam! I know exactly what you mean about doing something and then tearing it all out later. I've doing it for years!
Don't tell anyone, but I've been working on my '55 for the last few days. The Old Girl needed some love, and I spent the last couple of days going through all my parts and doing an inventory. I've got a game plan, and want to have it at a certain point before Father's Day. Gotta set some goals!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks guys,
The set back of installing the x member means I can no longer use the factory brake assembly. So here is my brake bracket I fabricated. As you can see I also had to notch the frame to have clearance for the Hydroboost unit.      I already modified the panel assembly, all that is required is a push rod extension but I think I better wait until the cab is back on to mock it up so that I know the brake is in the right spot. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Great looking truck project. I'm building a 56 stepside shortbox to mount above a newer Yukon or Tahoe 4x4 chassis. I've got a lot of patch panel and dolly work behind me, but still need cab corners, steps, rails, etc.
I just found a 56 car dash and was wondering if ya had any tips or tricks for the swap? I dont have the dash out of the car yet, so Im starting fresh. thanks, appreciate any advice, Dave |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Here is the piece I fabricated for the pedal assembly.
 After a lot of measuring here it is tacked in place. I'm going to leave it tacked until the cab is back on the frame, because I may have to move it a little bit.  Here is the pedal installed. Yes the push rod connection clears the bottom tube by about 1/2 inch. As you can see I need to make or purchase a longer push rod extension.

I think Im gonna clevis the Booster end, then tap one side LH thread and one side RH thread on the rod. With RH and LH rod ends this will make it adjustable in place. lookin good!
