What happened to the door?????

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

The Farmer used to irrigate with it. He said he took the door off to make it easier to get in and out of the truck faster but cant remember where he put it. May be looking for a door if he can't find it:confused:

Man I love that logic.... Like working one day out in the field And thinking "man that door just keeps gettin in the way, I'm gonna take it off" .......priceless lol

Good luck with build though

low with 22x10. 5 in backspace in the front 22x10 3.65 backspace in the rear all we need is a good sawsall

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

Looks to be pretty solid.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

it has some rust in strange places but the sheet metal is very good

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

blake harvesting some parts the pieces that he is cutting from this bed will be used to make new wheel houses. to get the tire out close to the fender looks like a gain of about 2 inches

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

I'll work on the bed as long as he works on the front end.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

I got the body dropped a inch this week. blake will be over this weekend to get after the front end I think we will move the inter fenders up hoping for 3 to 4 inches

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

My uncle and I are going to lower the truck! the truck is not going to be a show truck but a nice looking daily driver! i can't wait til its done and i get my license! i want to take it on my first date and drive it up to Reno, Nevada every year for me and my uncle's yearly trip to hot august nights! we should have some more photos posted by monday! we will keep you informed!

Cool truck keep up the good work:metal:

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

No photos of the truck this week, didn't get much work in, my uncle and i went to lunch at Al The Wops and ran into my other uncle and his little model T. he took me for a ride and poked a hole in the oil pan so we helped him fix it so he could get home so that kept us from the truck!
