Thread: Got some questions for some of our hot rod builder's about my 1947 International truc

Tweet

Thanks Mike and Dave.
Ya the channel and glass plus all the working's is totally gone so I can't even match it to anything.
I knew it would be a challenge, but I figured with all the hot rod builder's on here I could get a line or two.
Which thanks to you guys I have now, I'll keep you guy's informed on how my search is going.
I've seen guy's building all kinds of things on here the last 15 years or so I know it can be done.
I've actually been here a little longer then what it say's my join date was, but there was a computer crash
and I had to re join to get back on the site, glad they have all that stuff fixed now.
Thanks again Kurt.

Kurt I specialize in metal working and believe me when I say Ive seen it all. As far as the fenders go Id softly sand blast them to see what you really have. Looks like your in the desert so no need to throw paint back on them right away. Once blasted if you have rot issues they can be repaired fairly easy. if you find a lot of bondo due to wrinkles and old impacts it would be a good time to do some hammer dolly work and get them back in shape. That truck body style was fairly unique and not really thought of as a hot rod as much as a work truck. Because of that re pop fenders might be next to impossible to find. Your fenders look great to me and Id just fix them. What ever its worth?
