It's been a couple months since our last installment on the STREET RODDER Project Shop Truck buildup, but the crew at Hot Rods By Dean in Phoenix has not been resting and progress on our Shop Truck is going faster than we can get it into the magazine.
Tony Arme at Hot Rods By Dean (HRBD) finishes the installation of sealed beam headlamps on our Project Shop Truck '47 Chevy.
This month we're looking at the installation of sealed beam headlamps and a front bumper. Those parts, like many on this truck, came from Chevs of the 40's. We've been impressed by the amount of products Chevs of the 40's has for '37-54 Chevrolet trucks and cars. If you're restoring or customizing one of these vehicles, sooner or later you'll probably end up talking to these guys.
In this case, we're not restoring or customizing anything. Everything on our Project Shop Truck is brand-new stuff. Our Dynacorn-bodied 1947 Chevy pickup is being created entirely from easy-to-find aftermarket parts just because we wanted to see if it could be done. So far, so good.
Backtracking a couple hours, here's Jonathan Williams at HRBD arranging the parts from Chevs of the 40's.
Keep reading to see how easy it is to install headlamps and a front bumper on your own restored, modified, or repro parts project truck.
