Re: Raising the Zombie 1970 Short
Sorry I didn't get much of a intro in. Had to post the pics quick so I could head to work. So I'm not sure what drew me to this truck, because behind it was a 71 in a lot better condition. I guess I wanted to start with more bare bones and build it up from there so that I know every nook and cranny would be covered. Anyway. This truck by the looks of it was originally a straight six three on the tree that the PO took out and put in an 8 cyl possibly a 350. Ill post more pics later but the rockers, cab corners and door bottoms are all victims of the rust bug and will have to be replaced. All the typical stuff for a junkyard dog. The frame is pitted in the top from 15 years or so of weathering without a bed but is fixable. My plans are for a frame up custom build. Nothing too radical though. I want an awesome look but I don't want to chop up the frame and go extreme. It has a six lug drum set up that I plan on changing to 5 lug discs and we will go from there.
