Here is a truck we are restoring at work in our spare time. I did most of the paint work. It has a 383 stroker crate engine from summit, 445hp, a ford 9" with 4 link suspension, 4 wheel disks, hydraulic rack and pinion, aluminum fuel cell, aluminum driveshaft, and many other things im sure im forgetting. Its not done, but its close, it has over 2000 hours in it, drove it 20 feet for the first time today, its really coming together nicely. next week its going to get upholstery work. It has right at $60k in it now. Pictures do it no good, its flawless.

 

 

 

very Nice!

I bet it will run like a raped ape? 445 hp, can't weigh much over 3000?

 

I bet so, no weight at all!

 

nice job. I know a guy with a 1950 chev like that.. he has a 351W in it and gets all kinds of hate for it. but it is ok to put a chev in a ford?

 

Nice. Advanced design Chevrolets (47-early 55) are THE best looking trucks ever made without a doubt, there is no other truck that comes close.
We restored a '53 when I was in high school and I absolutely love driving it. Ours is all stock though, so about 45mph is all you're going to get out of the little stovebolt 6 cylinder.

You've got a nice truck man. I wish I was still in Missouri Id run down and take a look at it.

Ive got some more pics of my Chevy in my profile. It's got stock wheels on it now(red) instead of those ugly white spokes.

 

VERY nice!

 

I have a 1974 Caprice Classic that I need some help with. I dont know what to do to get started. Could you help me. I need to purchase some parts and get it painted.

 

very nice work, im working on my 32 ford pickup right now its a rat rod so this is the paint job but its chopped 5" and channeled 5" and 3" off the ground using a suicide front end and a 4 linked quick change rear end(if there werent speed bumps byy my house it would be lower) and im picking up the engine at barret jackson its been being built for almost a year now.... but its a 4cyl ford out of a midget race car pushing 300 hp all aluminum the truck shouldnt weight more then 1000lb, o and all work has and will be done by me




like my sig says az rat rods, im going to be starting a buisness around this truck right here

 

 

Ive seen that color scheme done by Foose on a show on tv. I forgot what show it was but they were restoring a truck for Nick (J Simpson ex husband) brother I think.
