Project- high dollar low budget build
 

I bought a great '68 3/4 ton long box with the intentions of turning it into a 1/2 ton and getting it painted quick. Now after little over a year i am almost to paint. I did the 1/2 ton swap within a month of getting it and then started on removing the chrome trim, side markers, bed post holes.

I had to end up notching the frame to end up at the desired height of the pickup when finished

after long hours of body work ended up to get ready for primer

Re: Project- high dollar low budget build
 

The only places that i had to end up replacing were the passenger side cab corner and rocker panel. The cab corner was rusted through and the rocker panel had a few pin holes.
