Popular Post Willie dog Posted November 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2015 Here's what I've got so far. I'll be sending the cab out for blasting and start the metal work when it comes back. The.I'll tackle the frame after I remove the tank. Slow but sure is the progress. 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42837-in-with-both-feet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicrop10 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Looks like you have your winter workload lined up.Also looks like you have a nice shop to do all the fixing in.I had a b42 with a tank on it that I sold to a fellow from vir. He said he was going to make it into a car hauler. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42837-in-with-both-feet/#findComment-313142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Willie dog Posted November 27, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks mike. I think it will be this winter, and the next, and the next. It's a 30x32 garage. It's going to take up all the room I have. As well as the basement of the house and part of the house garage, but don't tell my wife! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42837-in-with-both-feet/#findComment-313145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 15 degrees I run it for about an hour and have to turn it off.AC is supplied by a whole house fan mounted in the ceiling and opened windows.Thanks albert.

Popular Post Willie dog Posted November 27, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks Vlad.I'm thinking of turning the tank part into a zombie apocalypse shelter. Seriously though, I'm going to restore the whole truck to be a vintage Gulf oil truck. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42837-in-with-both-feet/#findComment-313236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie dog Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks everyone. I really enjoy restoration projects. I just recently over the last few years have been wanting a large truck. I've been restoring cars for more than 25 years. This will be a nice change of pace.....everything is BIGGER, HEAVIER AND MORE TIGHTLY ATTACHED than past prprojects.
