Nope, 4" cut off wheel. Now i have to weld it back together. Not sure my little wire welder is the best answer for that.

[Peter Drouin]

Are you going to raise the bed higher off the frame?

[Jeff]

The bed is going to be narrowed. The board is only setting on there so it can dry inside. I realize it's to close to the tires as it sets, so it's going to be narrow, and the rims reveresed so then some sort of fenders can be fashioned.

Perfect excuse to get a 400 amp mig/tig 100% duty cycle welder. Might as well get a plasma cutter too.

She's looking great.
The Dodge Bros comment brought this to mind sittin on the bookshelf. It is older than yours but neat artwork from the brand. It says Dodge Brothers around the star.

[Jeff]

That is very cool Don!

[TKehl]

I like the saw blade, but where are you going to hang gum boots if you do that?   :D  ;D

As for fenders, we have a 1940 Ford homemade tow truck that my grandpa used at his service station in IA in the 40's and 50's.  In addition to the rebar grill, the rear fenders were made from cut down 55 gallon drums.  I do think they are thicker than today's barrels though.

[loggah]

She's looking good Jeff!! I started working on the 1930 Stewart the other day, got the 1950 Dodge engine purring, but lots more to do.Something about tinkering on this old iron that just gives one a bit of satisfaction to bring them back to life ! ;D

[Jeff]

No more Fred Flinstone rides! M.R. Truck now has a floor.
