Joe Delgados 1945 FORD PU
1945 Ford Pickup Front and rear suspension upgrade. This truck belonged to Tony Delgados Dad. He bought it new and it has been in the family every since. Tony bought a coupe and took his engine and suspension out and donated it to the 47.
1947 Pontiac
Sheldon Shore brought us his 1947 Pontiac so we can install a weld on Heidts 60" Track Width front end. Along with the new front end we installed power discs up front and a newer tilt steering column. The Heidts kit went in well and with a set of 2" drop spindles it sits just right. We can't wait to back half it and get that mean look all around.
1958 Chevrolet Panel
1954 GMC Pickup
Todd Oakes owns this 1954 GMC Pick Up. Rusty sheet metal on the cab was replaced and a Heidts front end went on the chassis. The motor is a Chevy Performance Parts Ramjet 350 with a 700R4 transmission. After the sheetmetal repairs were done we installed a Bitchn firewall for room around the motor. After sandblasting inside and out, the patches were butt welded solid and the old and new sheetmetal is the same.
Jackson Sisneros is building this Panel. It sits on air bags and powered by a SBC 350 motor and a 700R4 transmission. We finished some sheetmetal panel fitment and adjusting, then built the exhaust and fired the motor. It's now at Salt Creek Classics for paint and body.
