I may have missed it but what are your plans.

Looks interesting, subscribed.

Re: Dads Old Truck
 

plans are to run mild dropmembers front and rear, i want a low but good riding truck.i have been watching bomp and mcmurphy, and coulter and on and on lol so many good ideas to use on my truck i am going to do alot of modifications some subtle some not so subtle. my dad bought this truck in new mexico in 1984 and i inherited it in 1987 when he passed away at the ripe old age of 38.he was just getting started restoring it and getting me involved so now i am getting started on this project again and doing what he started with a healthy twist of my own......lol

Re: Dads Old Truck

Good Luck and keep us posted, you know we like the photos !!

Re: Dads Old Truck

thank you guys glad to be here. McMurphy you and Bomp are awesome lol.i have a long and sordid history with this truck including having to sell it to a less than honest mechanic and having the guy who bought it from said mechanic pulling up in my drive way 10 years later looking for parts off of a 65 that i had just bought. he left without the parts and with out MY truck.
