not under its own power yet, going to a friends house has heated garage, him, guy next door to him and polarbill, going to help me get back on it and get it rolling. going to be living there after work and on the weekends for awhile

one more at its new home for a little while

That looks nice. Looks like a nice to place to work on it at too. Do you think you'll have it done in time for Mikes 2nd annual car show in June?? I'd like to see that. It looks like it would be a fun build..

yes hoping to have it road worth by then have everything for it except running boards and back roll pan but have a few ideas for them But you know how projects go thought it would have been done 4yrs ago! this time looks good Thanks to freinds, brother and a wife (that thinks its hers cause i have the bee) that want to see it done

GGGGRRRRRRRR! That was misleading...

Looks good, though...especially now that I've got a pair of 37's coming...I'll be looking for LOTS of updates!

I thought I'd offer that "Smoothie Fabrication" in North Carolina makes a nice steel running board for these pickups (ads in the back of rodding magazines). I don't remember the exact cost but it seemed like a bargain to me at the time I got mine His boards even have a matching bead stamped or rolled into them that matches the original. They are not meant to be a factory exact duplication but no one would know after you covered them with rubber matting. I'm not into the painted running board syle myself but that's an option for these as well.

Sweet project It always nice to work in a warm garage

WOW! what a differance a couple of days and a few freinds can do. motor was just sitting on frame. day 1 motor out frame and fire wall painted motor repainted put back in bolted down and to tranny.

Day 2 all thats left is radiator,hoses,plugs and plug wires, battery and some fluids and it's ready to fire up

Looks good, that checkerboard on the firewall recess makes for an interesting optical illusion in the photos. I think I got dizzy for a couple of seconds while I wait for my eyes to get the right focus.

Looks like its going to be a fun ride...remember tire smoking photos are also fun to see.

Progress is alway nice

its looking great Ron....

Sweet, but Orange Motor mounts?!?
Can't wait to see it really on the road.

lookin good ! that firewall sure makes the eyes do a double take !

It's alive!! we got it running tonite, ooo sounds good just unreal that its running,

I just got back from helping beesting and friends work on the 38. Gotta tell I'm having a ball. Having a couple of friends helping makes things go so much smoother. Last night we pulled the bed off,welded some spacers where needed and got the bed back on and all lined up.Tonight all the leakes were repaired. That 360 sounds so good with open headers.This is really coming along good.

sounds like you guys are having fun

OK now you got to take a video and put it on you tube so we all can see and hear it running

thanks guys!! I'll give that a try Ron never did it but its a good time to learn.

Can I ask a couple questions about the truck? If these details are somewhere her on Moparts and I missed them, then I apologize.

Is it sitting on stock frame, or something newer? Is the firewall stock/original? Will the engine clear the sides acceptably? Having the 37's coming now, inquiries may become commonplace. I hope you don't mind...

Thanks!

Having a 37 myself, his firewall appears to be stock. Small and big blocks both clear the hood sides with no problems. Hemis exit the hood sides at the front as the hood narrows toward the front of the truck.

4speed4me yes orig frame with a 82 dodge mirada front end welded to it to give me disc brakes and better ride had to make engine mounts. motor doesn't hit the sides but you'll have to maybe adjust your alternater so it don't hit I'm going sideless though, the fire wall is orig. don't worry about asken ques. best I can if not someone will
