Hi,

Bought a '47 Ford a couple of months back and had been tossing around ideas on what to make out of it, ie restore it or go all out on it, when a friend of mine sent me a build link to another truck just like mine on here. Read the thread and a few others and now i'm sold. New plans for the truck are: 4bt with manual 5 speed (not sure what yet), a Dyna 60 dually axle out in the back, custom flatbed, and slammed to the ground. Here's a few pictures to keep you entertained:

And a few others:

One flathead 6 in the correct spot:

Welcome to DB!!!

Good luck with your project!

 

Welcome to Diesel Bombers Can't wait to see the finished product

 

I see another nice project in the background,the 4x4 mid 60s chevy pickup needs a NA 6.2 Detroit Diesel in it.

 

 

Thanks guys!

@jmac: sadly none of the vehicles in the background are mine, but rather the guy who i bought the truck from. He also had a cool Hudson Terraplane (this would be an awesome Streetrod), another '47, and a '32 Ford couple inside.

 

welcome and nice truck
