My 70 SWB build thread
 

I am starting my own build thread. I am about 2 months into it. I paid $100 for the truck just before it was going to the crusher.:)

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Awesome! No turning back now!:metal:

Great price too! What does it have besides a V8?

Re: My 70 LWB build thread

Re: My 70 LWB build thread

53sparks does a bell ring when I post or do you drool on this board all day long like me???

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

For me...

The bell rings, I drool, I look and I learn.

Then back to my corner. This place is a wealth.

Ding!!

350 V8 I am replacing the 4 speed with a auto. 2.5" drop in the front and 4" drop in the back with disc brakes at all 4 corners.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Ram man for $ 5 i will hook it up for you , Is that your shop or your house that place is clean!!!

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

My wife will probably make me live in the shop by the time I'm done with this project. At least it has a toilet in it.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

all you need now is a freezer full of beef and a fridge full of budweiser!

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Looks like it's gonna be a beaut.:D

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

I've never been to Minn. but that truck looks pretty dry for being that far north. Great buy for $100.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread

Re: My 70 LWB build thread

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

beautiful start!!!what kind of coating/paint did you use on your frame. thanks

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

The frame was sandblasted then I put a self etching primer on, next a filler primer to cover up some of the pitting and finally Martin Senour catalyzed enamel for the top coat.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Dang, you're moving fast - I have a feeling this is going to be one sweet truck when you get done.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

I just got my frame stripped, I hope it comes out as good looking as yours.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Here is a little update on my progress. I got some of the front suspension back together and I am in the process of building rear trailing arms.

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Looks pretty good, You must have an understanding wife!!!!

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

an understanding wife... why is this such a rarity? would she rather i be in a bar or working on my car? (truck that is)? women just can't be happy no matter what you do, therefore dont bother. mine is tolerant but theres a limit. if only i'd work on mine in our garage shed be happier but she'd complain her car (that i bought) would be outside. oh well. wheres my wrench?

Re: My 70 LWB build thread
 

Well not alot of progress but I have been working on completing the rear trailing arms I built. Here are a couple pics.
