Re: My new 1950.
She's low and is a fire hazard here in Texas with all the sparks we make. I was thinking of putting it on bags just so I can come up a bit while cruising. My favorite part of the truck is the 20" rim tucked under that rear fender.

Re: My new 1950.
Sweet! The Boss rims are sweet. I bought the same wheels for one of my Chargers.

Re: My new 1950.
RivRat, What is the height of the running boards to the ground. My panel is low, about 4-5 inches and wondered what your is. Mine is a static drop and I want to bag it sometime too. I just have to get it on the road first.

Re: My new 1950.
Is there a build thread somewhere, possibly another forum? I'm curious how the surface rust was done. I've heard you can just spray down bare metal with salt water.

Re: My new 1950.
Just let it sit in a field for 20 years to get the natural patina. I'm pretty shut I saw a thread or two on the H.A.M.B

Re: My new 1950.
Did you pick that up in Mustang, Oklahoma? I think the PO owns a muffler shop in Mustang, I've seen it out in front of his shop before. I've always loved that truck. Congrats!

Re: My new 1950.
I can't tell you how many compliments I get everyday. People honking as I drive by or walking up when I pull into a parking lot. I just put some 1950 Texas truck tags on it today.

Re: My new 1950.
RivRat, Yes that is very low. I can see why you are thinking of adding bags. Mine is only the sheet metal that is the lowest thing, nothing from the frame or exhaust. Thank you for checking.
