68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
5 Attachment(s)
Ok before I get to the meat of this build I would like to say that the project name is actually a big sign of my gratitude to Nate-not a knock! I researched for months and finally decided to purchase his full dropmember kit for my 68. I kid him that I look at lots of vendors still but I always am amazed at what he comes up with next for these trucks---therefore I am "chained" (lol) to his site for what is coming next!!!
Having said that, I am still using other vendors ( some on here) for parts and services in the months to come!! I have been a member here for years but had other projects going but now I am back to the trucks I love and have done in years gone by. This is not going to be as radical as previous trucks but more in line with Superfly's build with a few twists..I appreciate all input as we go down the road--Here's a few pics of where we are at right now with cab bottom blasted-then in epoxy -stock swb frame ready to add nate's parts-still in air about drivetrain but working it out!!! jim |

Very nice project you have going here! That's a sweet rotisserie, and also very nice projects you built and sold. Your cab looks great too!

Looks like a GREAT cab. Going to be a sweet truck with that cab and PB parts (also judging by your past projects)

U are 1 of the ones I will lean on during this build for some advice good or bad as we go--Read your posts and like your insight!! By the way -I left out of the car post that the 55 was painted in '71-I never painted it-felt it looked cool with the patina--So did the guy in New Zealand.......jim |
Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I SURE HOPE YOU DO !! I am realistic , i know they wont work for everyone and some people might not care for the style or design .....but i hope it solves a very big issue for alot of guys !!
