Time for the old 39..!!

I just sold my 66 Impala for $xx,xxx... And now I am going to build this.....

And of course the 39 Chevy will have a 12 valve for the power source. So I need someone that might have the dimensions of a 2 wheel drive regular cab frame. Maybe someone has a frame that they can give me some measurements? Thanks....

Merry Christmas Everyone....!!!

Thanks Buck..... Should be really cool after I dump the body on top of a dodge frame and 12 valve. Can't wait to see how fast a 12 valve will be in a 2800 lb truck..... LOL...

Thanks stroker. I was going to build a chevy big block. I do love the sound of a chevy with big cam. But I am thinking with the 12 valve motor I should have a very different, fast and cool truck. And if i make it cool enough I might even get a few sponsors and get some FREE parts..... yeah...!!!

West Coast I'm the same way. I like the sound of a big gas burner with a big cam in it. But nobody would think a 39 chevy would have a 12 valve in it jus by lookin at it. lol That thing is gonna be sweet when you get done with it!

Hammer thanks for the picture. My truck will painted the same color as my Impala was .. http://www.proworkz.com/airride.htm. Have black 20" rims and air ride suspension all the way around. Evil Otto's truck is cool, but I am going for a lot different look. And I am going to find a way to stuff everything under my hood so it is a true sleeper.....
