I have the opportunity to get a 1950 f1 pickup chassis and cab for a good price. The two have been seperated for another project that never happened. I want to use the cab and suspension on a custom frame with hopefully a flathead v8 motor. No hood, no fenders, and maybe just bed siderails, maybe not? I have seen several rods built like this and they seem as "simple" as you can get. This would be my first custom build. I would buy the frame, not try to fab it myself, but I would like to do everything else.

On the plus side I have access to a 110volt 20amp mig, a decent air compressor and I have a lift (actually an old alignment rack) in my garage. I have restored antique tractors in the past, and I put a new motor in my Mustang two winters ago.

On the negative side I have little welding experience, and certainly not an unlimited supply of money.

Does this sound like too ambitious of a project?
Can anyone give me some links to blogs from others who have done the same thing? (I did a search and found a few)

Thanks,
CHAZ
