Well heres mine, It's not a sleek little half ton hot rod like what most of you like but it works for me.What was supposed to be a couple month project took me about a year and a half. This was a california rust free Custom Camper/30 with 54000 on the OD. I toyed with the idea of fixing the camper but there was just too much rotten stuff to fix. So off it came. 28" of frame sectioned out to fit the utility bed, a front disc xmember swap, and a little mounting mods to a dana 70 rear I found under a little bus at pick and pull. A 454 replaced the 402 that was in there. My nephew came over and painted base coat clear coat with factory colors.
I also put in a vitage air ac unit. When I was young I didnt need ac but I cant live without it now!!
