Thread: My rusty/ratty 48 chevy truck build (w/ pics)

Wow, you have so many "right" things going on with this truck. The flat bed really makes it look nice. I do like the wheels, however, if you were to age, or wheather them using paint, like to make them have spots of rust, that would throw this truck over the top. But thats just me, you know I like the rusty look.

Keep it up, the more pics the better, plus when you are done you can go back to the pics to remember how you did things!

All the rust is real. No fake rust for me

I ran brake lines this weekend.

That sucked on a mostly assembled truck.

Lines go back to the firewall and then down.


The proportioning valve is tucked under the drivers side fenderwell.

I had to pull the headers to do the brake lines. I took pics while they were out.

They were built from used World Of Outlaws type sprint car header pieces with spread ports. We built adapters to bolt them to regular SBC heads.
