Hey Ron,

I just found this thread; have had to add it to favorites list.

Looking forward to seeing more on this beast in the future!

bringing this thread back up from the dead

sorry to say but I have not yet got to working on it

but the plans have changed a little. I now plan to make it look like a gasser style race truck
I have a line on a tube axel and springs and since ALL my other projects are going to be slamed on the ground I thought this one would be fun as a "GASSER" sort of like the one below
as soon as the 48 ply coupe and/or squattie are sold I can really get back to work on the race truck Ron...

Nose up or nose down, either way the trucks still look BAD!

Ok so I finally got back to work on the race truck
I was going to make it raised up gasser style but seeing that I already have all the must II stuff i am going to build it on the ground and I will build the 37 willys sedan as a nose up gasser....

so today I cut off the stock toyota frontend stuff and got the Mustang II frontend in place and made most of the plates to mount it( I still need to finish it lower ones and finish grinding the upper plates smooth.

I still need to cut some more of the toyota frame rails off to blend into the 2x2 that will mount the front of the nose. Ron...

I hope to get much more work done and keep this thread going again.....


here is the stock toyota stuff:

here is the area that still needs to be trimmed off:




here is a overall shot:

Great work Ron Thank you for keeping the pics coming
Love seeing the progress and your thoughts on the project.

I really need to get back to work on my truck.
I hope to get back on it this week and I will get some more pictures of the progress. Ron...

looking forward to seeing what your up too..

Thought I would bump it too.

Ron I have asked this a million times. But what years Dakotas are best again for the swap for the old cars/ trucks.

Im making a move to Boise/ and Cambridge soon and am keeping my eyes open up there to find a cheap dakota for a future build.

RUMBLON/ LAWFISH- UH Dave.
