So I have been looking for a cool patinaed 64-66 truck with porterbuilt suspension and LS in it for sale for a few years and never could find one that fit my budget or was done how I wanted it.

So I have been gathering parts knowing someday I will find a good candidate truck to build myself. Just to let everyone know I do not consider myself a full build or restoration expert at all so any help or suggestions will be welcomed.

I will post up some pictures to let you all see what I have to start with.

Here we go!
