Im starting to feel disheartened about my project truck and I want to see if anyone has before pics of their project truck to make me feel that Im no worse off than anyone else on here as a starting point, maybe that will restore some of my motivations
Thanks in advance

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

:lol: Guilty...I need doors (at least bottoms), cab corners, cab floor near front cab mounts, front cab mounts, rockers, bed pieces. But for a 4x4 in the rust belt the price ain't terrible.

My '74 is much much worse w/ spun bearings and beyond hope, so that's why I got the '73 and I'll be learning body work this spring/summer. ;)

ive just now put my motor in today, ive been doing this on a non existent budget. my wicked awesome wife did buy all my engine internals for Christmas. no job (got laid off from my job of 5 years due to economic bs) just doing all the work myself with my dad helping on some things. wife fell broke a rib in the shower 2k on doc bills, no insurance. not wanting people to feel bad, but this truck is keeping my mind busy, it is my only getaway right now, if your truck is getting you down you need to just step back and look at why your building it, for the enjoyment. check out my build thread it started out as a quick motor swap and turned to a lot more.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Mines a pretty good truck for being an iowa truck 1984 c10 runs and drives paid 700 just needs paint and it be a great truck... but why stop there lol

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Nice Job NBPRO, I love that it was done on a budget but has lots of cool ideas executed.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Here is my son's truck we are trying to put together for his first ride. First pics are when it was mine and blue and not lowered all the rest are what we are what we done to it so far.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Thank you sir. It's comments like these that keep us all motivated. There are a lot of great project trucks on here. There are a lot of great looking trucks as well. Great place to find help and ideas from fellow square body lovers. Once again, thanks for your comment, it means alot.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Here is my junk, started out as a long bed. Needs floors, lower inner doors, rockers and front inner and outer fenders......

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Take your pick. I've got four, and house in the middle of a remodel.


http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/y..._1411-reva.jpg
#1 - 4 years and counting. Awaiting a transplant of the 8.1l and 4l80e sitting in dad's shop.


http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/y...07-resized.jpg
#2 - 2 years and counting. The daily driver that is/has continually driven me crazy.


http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/y...06-resized.jpg
#3 - 7 months and counting. A truck that I got my wife for Christmas, for driving in the winter.


http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/y...Picture002.jpg
#3 - This is the project part of it.


http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/y...er-resized.jpg
#4 - I'm almost ashamed to say, but 10 years and counting. The pride and joy. It took me a long time to get this and all the parts to make it go fast. But, life keeps getting in the way of finishing it.


A buddy of mine calls me cash poor and project rich. So, I feel your pain. Take some time off from it, breath, and try to reconnect with the reason you started it, and Good Luck!

I figure I'm a year away from driving it, working on it about 20-30 hours a week (my usual pace). Ten years ago I'd have it done in 3 months. Getting old sucks.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

Ten years ago you would have built it and traded or sold it in 3 months. Despite your slower pace you still build them faster than most. I enjoy your style of builds, so keep us in the loop.

Re: Pics of your Project trucks?????
 

You guys are definitly makin me feel a little better and maybe isnt as bad as I am thinkin here, but I think if the weather would be a little more agreeable, $$$$ would cooperate as well and I would be able to find the stupid not hard to find crap I still am lookin for (TH350, chrome front bumper etc)I would start to feel more positive on it as a whole, but like I said you guys have definitly helped me here and I appreciate it a lot
Thanks again
