This was my winter 2006 project for a friend in Helena .
This is a rather interesting truck with an interesting history . It started out as a 1931 truck , bought new by the family for the ranch near Harlowtown . At some point a flood ruined the cab & it was replaced with '40 sheetmetal . The ranch was sold & the truck was salvaged in 2005 by family members & brought to me for restoration in 2006 . After realigning everything to properly fit the '31 frame , it was disassembled & the frame & engine was taken home by the owner to complete . Before that I moved the entire front axle assembly back 9" to center the wheels in the front fenders . Lots of reproduction parts were aquired & the neatest find was a pair of NOS front fenders . |
