thank you shawnlee28

ill see what i can come up with.. a friend of mine has a 59 chevy pu on a s10 chassis, and he said he mounted the front of the cab with nothing and he used 1" wood blocks on the rear (to give it a raked look). im not so sure about the whole wood thing...

UH, NO TO WOOD.


Funny story. In the '50's we didn't know what the H we were doing for the most part. Cars were kinda crude at times. (not all, but some)

Friend of mine had a '53 Ford that he swapped a Chrysler Hemi into, about a 1954 engine. He couldn't find appropriate spacers for the engine mounts, so he drilled holes through pieces of 2 x 4 and used these as spacers. Every time he would get on it the 2 x 4's would crack and fall out. He used to carry a supply of predrilled 2 x 4's in the trunk.

Lumber only has one place in a car..........use it to block up stuff while you are mocking up the car.
