1948 Diamond T Truck

The customer wanted us to repair some rusted areas in the floor and firewall as well as other areas here and there. The firewall had been cut out by it's previous owner in such a way that it needed restored with a donor piece out of another truck. The fenders needed re-aligned as well. We did not media blast this project due to the customer's budget. Once we were finished with our repairs, the truck was sent to the body shop.

This truck arrived partly disassembled, which saved the customer money because that's something we didn't have to do.

and this is after. We restored a floor/transmission tunnel out of a donor truck and used it for the repair.
