Build story

I bought a project that had been started and abandoned for a few years. I had just completed my first project a 49 F155 on a 91 D250 frame with a 5.9 intercooled Cummins. Kinda addicting those Cummins. This time around being it’s 4WD I’m putting big tires on it and lifting it up. I bought another truck a 49 Chev that had a straight box and excellent running boards. Will incorporate that into my project.
Managed to get the project completed in under a year and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a head turner for sure. Definitely fits in my Big Head Garage😄
