Plans include: ditch the 20s for some steelies, fix the problems that are keeping her from being road worthy, maybe a hot rod flatz paint job, put all chrome bumpers and stainless trim back on and drive the **** out of it!!!!!

Will post some more pics as soon as i can...I'm deployed so connectivity is limited...i'll prolly start a build thread...picked up a big back window cab, new set of doors, and dropped it off at poypeyes rod shop in carencro, LA to get a new back half, redo front suspension, brakes and steering. He is suppose to be sending me some pics.

the first time i laid eyes on it
http://c10forum.com/forum/picture.ph...pictureid=9754

the original owner of the truck thought it would be a good idea to just cut random holes in the truck...Jerry(original builder) said it was an older guy...so maybe it was altymers..dunno...im going to fix it for sure tho.
