Bottoms up!!

I got my welding sealing and undercoationg done on the bottom of the bed.. Finally the bed is ready to be bolted on forever....

I painted the front of my bed, all bolted on the truck, and fuel filler is funtional.

I'm going to do a couple little thing to the truck and I may take it to a little show just down the road from me.

After the show it is engine swap time...

Nice work Jason

Getting some done finally.. Engine gets swapped this week... I hope


Gonne leave the t-18 in for know. Can't wait to drive it.. The OD will go in later....

Ooops she's back..

That is Lisa Kelly, Ice road trucker.. Sweet little lady up in Alaska..

Now her I would team drive with.

In the winter, Kelly drives the route depicted in this season's "Ice Road Truckers" - airing Sunday at 9 p.m. - and in the summer, she runs out of Wasilla.


Good to know the laws of physics still apply

I installed the engine and have it running.. I still need to finish up some little items but it sounds good so far...

Not quite yet.. I want to go through the steering, suspension, and the interior.. I still have a real nice floor pan to install...


Well I finished up the engine swap and ran the engine pretty much all afternoon. I even took a couple short (no regisration yet) rides up the road and WOW this " new engine seems to run great. What a little screamer!!! I'm thinking the 4 barrel made most the difference..

Next little project will be modifying a air cleaner.. I grabbed one off the studebaker at our farm... It is tall and slender, just the way I like 'em!!! I need to cut it down a bit or cut a hole in the hood..

That is sweet!! Have you thought of using an old dog dish hub cap for the top of the breather?


I really think these look cool. I like the original oil bath also, I am going to need something for mine when she gets on the road. Right now I have nothing. Just ideas..... Anthony
