1954 Ford C-600 COE truck & a 1951 F1 Pickup

Done a bit on the exhaust today for a change, all 3" stainless and have a valve to go on the Y-split to by pass the box , but not sure how much the box will really quiet it down anyways but its about the biggest I could get to fit in the gap, , hoping to have the waste pipe come out next to the 3" in the side of the step but may have to use that flexi stainless stuff to get it there, quite like th idea of the big 3" outlet nd the little 40mm waste outlet next to it. just like a F40 haha, well the truck will be red so its nearly there ,




There's not much room to get it to where i need it to be ,especially when its on the floor so I don't squash it all





Test fitted the handbrake mech and I had to much swing so nearly hit the dash and the seat

So this is MK2





Now the handle has less throw but can adjust the arm that goes to the main cable for more or less movement by moving it to the different holes , also the base plate will bolt over the hole in the floor left by the 2 speed rear level not being there anymore , got some titanium plate stashed away for the finished version,

Cutouts.

Love them.

Perfect shortcut to antisocial thuggery.

I have a set for my C10 truck as well.

SERIOUSLY……………….

or OG like this ?

My metal ordered turned up finally so I can get on with the bed , my mate dropped off some 2x3 metre sheet steel a few weeks ago he had from a job nice 3mm sheet but does have a bit of patina and some holes where they lifted it with the forklift but hay its free, which would of been most of the cost I reckon,

once I finish off the one side I can work out where to cut out the side lockers and make the side steps , oh and there's a 30 degree on those box sectoin up rights for the slope at the top of the bed to weld on and some tube for the edge, the next job



I'm trying to keep it looking like its in proportion with cab but until I put it all together its hard to tell , so fingers crossed it looks ok...

Got the return and tube on today to form the top part of the bed side and started the bulkhead panel , really taking shape and looks ok proportion wise, it will look better with the side step on to I think , need another 7.5 m length of box section this week to support the steps , its amazing where it all goes....

thanks man, when I measured it the chassis has been cut down a bit already , so its a bit shorter than it used to be , but should be long enough to get my 240z on there still, I'm gonna put some side lockers on there to get to the air ride stuff if nedeed and store bits and bobs just like this mock up hopefully ,





excuse my paint skill though....


been thinking about making a canvas tilt, like the one I had on my old split single cab years ago to

Ooh how high will the front go ? Nice short ramps needed if it reaches the sky, have you got a clever solution for them yet ?
Looking good sir.

P.s. side steps as ramps ?

/the front goes up about 12" and the back down another 2" when/if I notch the chassis a bit ,

removable side step ramps sounds a kool idea , didn't think of that ! ,


I was thinking of old skool greedy board like this....




with the metal work hidden behind the wood , so when you finish with them them they just slot into the old post holes on the bed, which go down into the box section on the side , (I still need to cut these out of the return though)
