 Also traded my tallbike for a running 460 and C6 transmission.  I <3 Welding
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
Now you're talking. Might want to reinforce the frame a bit more. Wouldn't want that motor to turn it into a pretzel.  It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
I have 2 more crossmembers and a bunch more gussets I need to put in but I need the get the motor and tranny figured out first so I know where to put them. I'm a big fan of overbuilding things "when in doubt, build hella stout".

Re: '38 Ford Pickup
Kinda strange to turn the c channel out instead of the traditional in way. Is it galvanized?
You have a bunch of builds on your plate with the Buick , the station wagon' and now this truck. Ok if I hang that one over there, and slide this one over here
maybe one more will fit right here!

We should all be so lucky  It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
I turned it that way because it's easier to weld in crossmembers and there is more surface are the weld on, when it all said and done the only part of the frame that you'll see is from the firewall forward and yes, it is galvanized. I traded the station wagon for the Buick which is now my daily driver so this truck is my only real project at the moment. I <3 Welding
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
I figured that was the reason to turn them that way. Was thinking man your having to
spend some serious time if you had three projects going at once. Ok if I hang that one over there, and slide this one over here
maybe one more will fit right here!
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
That truck is going to be sweet
Re: '38 Ford Pickup
I'm gonna see how it goes without boxing it because it feels pretty stiff already but I'm guessing that'll change when I drop a 500hp big block in it. I'll probably end up boxing at least the front, maybe more.
