  1. H63 cab is leaving for the sheetmetal shop next month. I got the majority of the work done but realized how shitty sheetmetal work is to do. I'm gonna concentrate on the chassis. Got the rear air ride in and now to fab up mounts for the Big Cam III Cummins. I'll be ready to do some burnouts.

  3. Getting ready to head to the beach for the summer. Didn't get much done to the trucks since last Sept. Hopefully that'll all change after vacation.

      A good third of the cab was rusted away. Those cabs are too hard to find so not much of a choice but to grin and bear it and start replacing the bad with new stuff. Just takes a lot of time.

  13. Got the H61 fired up today. So neat to see something come back to life after 30 yrs. of sitting.

  14. The H61 is officially here. Man is she a beauty. Well I can see the potential anyway. Atleast she's all there, emblems trim, ashtray, everything. Hell the cab jack still works even after 30 years out on the farm, woohoo. Just need the rain to go away so I can get to work on firing her up.

  15. H61 is comin today, woohooo.

  16. Adding a 53' H61 to the stable. So excited. Pics soon to follow once I get her home. I'm officically part of the more than one truck club, wooohooo. Just gotta get them going now.

  17. Got back to tinkerin on the old girl.

  18. Mama's got me side tracked with her projects for a few weeks. The other woman (my H model) is gonna have to wait a little bit.

      Thats a song lyric, Hat,,,cool

  19. Got most of the unused holes welded up in the frame. There was a bunch. She'll be smooth and nice once she's painted. Still a ways off though. Keep coming up with more things to make before I tear her down.

      Good to see the great progress and the work is looking good.

  20. Rear end and air ride is buttoned up, front crossmember is moved back, just gotta fab up a few more things and the frame will be torn apart, blasted and then painted, woohoo.

  21. Hunting for parts to mix and match to make this rearend work. Mama said there'd be days like this but she didn't say they'd all be like this.

  22. The new air ride and rear end didn't go in quite as planned but it'll work with some fabbing. Would be nice for something to just bolt right up.

      I feel your pain but with modernizing something like this, everything is trial and error. BTDT.

      what fun would it be if everything just bolted together? LOL!

  23. Fabbing up tranny mounts today and looking forward to seeing Packer and my new rear end next week.

  24. Floorpans are done! Now mocking up the interior to finish any more welding and fabrication so it'll be ready to be coated, woohoo. It's looking like a truck again, atleast on the inside.

      Looks like it is coming along, Tony. My B is in teardown mode. Wanna come over and do some welding?

  25. Passenger side floorboard done! Onto the driver side tomorrow. My boy will love being able to walk inside the cab without falling through the rust holes
