I built this 1944 Chevy truck (Yes. Titled as 1944)

It started as a 1944 Chevy truck cab & 1938 Oldsmobile hood & grill.

All other fabrication is one off stuff.

Body lengthened 4" in front of cowl for added leg room.

The Oldsmobile hood was originally hinged at center, now stretched & hinged at the cowl with cable hood release in cab.

a rebuilt 235 Chevy motor, an S10 5 speed, hooked to Jaguar 2.87 Posi rear.

Motor accessories: HEI distributer, Fenton headers, Offenhauser triple intake.

Carburetors appear as triple. Only the center carb & electric choke used.

Outboard carbs are for looks.

Frame (2" x 4" Steel) 128" wheelbase was copied from a very talented street rod fabricator, that let me look under his similar truck with my camera & notes.

The last 2 pictures shows build in process.
