I guess Im guilty of all options , I have a 72 longbed 4x4 that is completey stock and Dead , I killed the original 350 , have another one for it .
I have a stock looking 72 shortbed with BuddyBuckets , 350 , Vintage Air , was a plain Jane truck originally , had been hotrodded before me .
Have a 79 Big 10 Bonanza with 60k miles , all original , except I put 15x8 steelies with DoggyDishes instead of the factory Rallies , still have those .
Im building a 70 shorty stepper , keeping what original paint and patina it has , all rust has been repaired and paint blended to match , cut and buffed , no clearcoat . This one will have drop spindles and drop springs , 15x8 steelies rear , 15x6 fronts , DoggyDish caps , LS Drivetrain from a wrecked 04 Avalanch , Boyd Welding rear mount tank , new bed wood , blue houndstooth BuddyBucket seats , blue Poly Vinyl flooring and Vintage Air .
My next one after the 70 will be a Factory shortbed 65 Bellsouth service body truck , not sure what that build will look like yet.
