FS 69 SWB Body Dropped CHEAP QUICK
I decided to sell my project truck. Have too many projects going at once, enough as where they are a chore compared to a hobby. Anyways, here it is. 1969 Chevy SWB Fleetside C10 2wd. When I bought the truck it was all together, tossed the motor and trans, and started from ground up. Frame was rusted out above the rear coil springs so I built a new rear frame out of 2x5 11ga tubing. The new rear is straight, which ment shimming the trailing arms and welding new perches on the axle. The truck can now comfortable tuck 16-18" slicks. I notched the tubing above the 5 inch drop coil spring to bring it 7" rear suspension drop. The rear is out of a 5 lug truck with 4.10 open. Now to the front, replaced the springs with 2" drop coils and the spindles with 2.5" drop disk spindles. New rotors and calipers and pads too. Moving on to the bed, only thing I have done is cut out the rusted out floor and had a cutout of aluminum sheet metal to install. The front clip is in decent condition, grills dented up, fenders are smooth, but previously restored. The hood is staight, but I had cut two lines in to make my own cowl induction, but never finished. Now the cab, where to begin. The cab has a 4/2.5" modified body drop. I cut out the entire floor then into 3 pieces. The under the seat and tranny tunnel are 4" higher, the area where you feet rest are 2.5" higher. I accomplished this by lowering the front frames mounts down 1.5 inches. I replaced the floorboards, dogleg, passenger side rocker, pass. cab corner, replaced the whole rear cab with a staighter one off another cab, shaved the heater box, repaired rust on the outer side of the firewall and cowl vent areas. I also have replaced the 4 cab mounts but the need to be finish welded in. New bushings and bolts to hold the cab in place. I will include the drivers side cab corner, rocker, dog leg, and custom inner rocker. The doors are in ok condition, I would probaly replace or skin em. No windshield but does have back glass. The dash is out of the truck and I have most the ingination hinges and other small things. I cluster is destroyed. The cab also has some issues of rust in the bottom corners of the windshield down to the floor. Have sections from another cab to help repair. Doors have glass. The title is a clean MIssouri title. I am located in St. Louis Missouri. Any more questions fire away, but I have limited access to the computer so for quicker answers call me at 314-226-6420. DIRT CHEAP FIRMFIRM I have over four thousand invested, plus hundreds and hundreds of hours invested, but understand a project truck ain't worth much. I can either leave the truck apart, bare cab on bare frame, or hang the doors and put the front clip on, the bed needs more work before it is able to be re-fitted. I also have 2 power brake boosters for the truck, the original power drum set up and I believed to be a power disk set up. I also the the column, which was a 3 on the tree.

Drop Parts
Would you be willing to part with the 2'' front drop springs and the 5'' rear drop springs ( I think that is the way I understood it) Also lin close to St. louis so I could easily pick the pieces up.
Also would be interested in one of the power brake boosters thanks

I just lost interest, If I had somewhere to park it and come back to it in a couple years that would be great. But I have just bought a home and am trying to offset the cost of trucks by selling one or parts to pay for the other. The mud truck is going to be nuts though, Picking up the rockwells in a week, already have the 49"s. I ended up with 18" of lift. Its gonna be crazy....

Bought a new home and decided this truck just isn't going to the house. The garage I rent ends August 1st. Even though I REALLY REALLY hate to do this, I will take next to nothing for her, if no buyers by then, I will sell the parts that are sellable and take the truck to the salvage yard. I know it brings a tear to my eyes too. But I have another truck to work on, and with buying my first home, how am I going to have time to work on anything. If you want something off her, let me know by Aug 1st. Cell is 314-226-6420.......I don't get on the internet very often, so its best, really best, to call me.....
