Thanks stovens, now with the new parts at home this should take shape a little bit faster if I get the time.

Do you have any build pics of your 49?? I checked your gallery not much there...I know he would like to see what others are doing.

Here is my thread link.

I have most of all the big parts for my truck!
The hard part is storing them until I get the cab body work all completed.
TORTURE!!!!

It looks like my truck will be heading out to Kelowna, BC at the end of the month just bought a place there. Bigger garage and extra room for the project..did I mention the weather... warmer and no more 8 month winters.
Scary thing happened when I started my engine up to run lubrication before moving. I cranked it over with the wheels sitting on four wheel skates and it started up...couldn't figure out why I was hearing this squealing sound looked around and saw the drive shaft turning ,it was the tires turning in the wheel skates! Lucky it wasn't on the floor or my 07 GT Mustang would of had two frame rail holes in its bumper>> How about a neutral switch??????

Feeling like jet lag today though!
