Man I was so excited when it arrived I ate dinner with it next to my plate. Lol Always good to keep some childlike excitement....
Yeah I wish it was moving faster but its all a money game at this point. I only need a couple of things but all total its over $300 bucks worth of stuff! So yeah....hoping to do some horse trading to make it happen.

Not sure if anyone is still following along with this build but good news is a-foot!!
Im doing some horse-trading with another awesome Caber for an original cycle truck stem and drop stand clip AND i found a perfect set of handlebars! ALSO i have a perfect rear hoop with a full set of 120 gauge spokes and nipples.
....but wait, theres more!!
Tonight while digging around for a new departure rear hub in my parts pile i found a Bendix Model K 36-10 floating front Cycle Truck hub!! What are the friggin odds i had that already just sitting there!!
Good things are happening guys!

Sounds like a lot of good things are happening for you on this. Your repair on the front plate for the basket brace mounting looks like a factory replacement in shape and method. Nicely done. The one on my '39 box dweller was not done as nicely. I wish I knew what happened that it needed repair - but they don't talk ya know. Maybe one day I'll get to doing some additional work on it and hop it comes out like yours did. Impressive!!

Onward and upward!!! Still have not gotten out to dig for any front wheel yet. Did look in the trailer when I had the door open last week, not the right spot though. I think the wheels may be in the little shed next to the shop.

Good things for good people. That is fantastic plays right into the universal energy theory, the parts are finding you. Spring around the corner Cycle truck coming together, you may want to buy a lottery ticket taco. When done you will have to remove "the worst cycle truck " moniker haha

Nice find on the hub! I finally found that front wheel, it’s definitely “The worst cycle-truck wheel ever!” It appears to be an S-2 with a Union hub and a gallon or two of house paint. If you need it I got it!
