Re: My New Project! CCPU I'm at a similar point with my 29CCPU (A2344243). Engine and frame serials even match!
My engine is out, but I have yet to get the axles and springs off. My basement is awash with cleaned/new car parts waiting for paint, assembly and installation Rich |
Re: My New Project! CCPU Looks like if you only fill the tank half-way, you'll be fine.:)
Cool project ! Tommy- |

I started doing some cowl patching tonight. I made a patch for the left side and got it welded in and smoothed out. I'm pretty happy with it. Right side tomorrow!
|
Re: My New Project! CCPU Nice job Jake! By the looks of it, that's not your first patch panel. Keep up the good work.

Re: My New Project! CCPU 5 Attachment(s)
I made another patch today and got it welded in. I also went to a swap meet this morning and got a dash panel, tail light, and headlight bar for my truck.

Re: My New Project! CCPU 5 Attachment(s)
Been pretty busy lately as I am also building a 40 Ford hot rod and helping a buddy with a 32 five window coupe......and finishing up school. Still finding time for the truck though. Been patching up the back cab panels, removed the old floor pan (it turned into swiss cheese during sandblasting) and welding up the holes in the sub frame. Lots of work to do!!

Re: My New Project! CCPU 5 Attachment(s)
Made some progress on the truck tonight. The back part of the seat riser was rusted out pretty bad so I made a patch and welded it in. I think it turned out really nice. I've also started shooting primer on a lot of the pieces.

Re: My New Project! CCPU Nice looking truck I would be happy if mine was in that kind of shape, but I am happy with what I got. Good Luck

Re: My New Project! CCPU Jake,
You and Flop ought to go in business together! Pluck |

Been super busy lately but still finding a little time to work on the pickup. Got the new floor pan in and subframe all back together. Now I am working on finishing up the back panels and cab corners and then I'll move on to the doors!

Re: My New Project! CCPU 5 Attachment(s)
I got back to work on the pickup this evening. I made a patch for the lower cab back panel and got it welded in. Next project is patching the doors.

Re: My New Project! CCPU Hi Jake I also have a 28/9 pick-up,mixed parts not a show piece. I bought it in July of 59 at age 14. The only draw back here in a small town is I can't get away with anything= everyone knows my truck. I bought , a long time ago , a set of the blue prints for all the wood. I have shared them with a few guys putting one together , and will with you if you need. More like if your good with wood work. All I ask is you pay for the copying and shipping. Hope you off that sun visor soon. I'm at [email protected] (dumb computor) Do you have headlights yet? I'ed be lost without my old truck - it's part of my life. Wish mine had been in as good of shape when I got it.

Re: My New Project! CCPU Jake, I started my 29 ccpu restoration a few months ago. I started on the chassis first and will do the cab last. My biggest problem so far is finding two good doors. I find bad rust but no winners yet. Looks like you are having as much fun as I am.
