Awesome! Looks like a great project... and I like the direction you're going with it! Going to be one kool ride!!

Keep us posted :)

Thanks, I bought it as a family project. But I don't think it is gonna happen now. So Ai guess it will be down to me! Shame, was looking forward to it. So progress may be a tad slower than I had hoped. Ah well, at least I have it!

I love early pickups, I'm very jealous :).
Going to stick with the chevy front end?

Daredevil · Member

I am, it has been dropped 3 inches. It is different.

I'm in love with this truck, haha.

I would love to find a p/u like that even a sedan to cut into a p/u . Channeled fender less is the way to go.

Thanks guys. Thought it was going to be a quick finish... But. That is not going to be the case!
I am sure it will turn out well. Trouble with these old trucks is, there is no room inside. When they are channeled, they are even smaller. Getting a person, seat and steering wheel in there is a real challenge!

IM only 5;3 no prob

Some cutting, welding, banging and bending, the seat frame is in. It is a perfect fit. Just a little more welding and it will be ready for the soft stuff. seat frame.jpg

Good news, due to selling the fenders and running boards, I now have more in the budget. So, I can get the wheels n tires I really want!!! WooHoo!

That's always good news (more in the budget)... I think those shoes will look just right!...

I'm a bit jealous about this project, right up my alley lol someday I'll attempt another one until then I will live through yours

Cool, thanks, it just sent them an email. Just got back from the shop, doing some heavy duty strengthening on the body, and tying it all together.
