Re: low budget 64
I started out with 71 spendles from craigs list. did a little clean up and fitted new disc brakes. I order a air bag kit from sucidedoor.com....after the install it was not low enough for me....so I removed the lowers and had a friend cup them. now the truck sits 3-4 inches from the body. not slamed as i hoped but low enough to enjoy. maybe sometime later i will change it.

Re: low budget 64
Very cool! You gonna paint that column? Kinda' takes away from the rest of the interior.

Re: low budget 64
I agree...the column is in bad shape. I already picked up one from a buddy.Im still looking for a few more parts before I install it. Then I have to decide what color??

Re: low budget 64
Hello and
 to the site !!!Very nice turn around on this rig, looks like the PO had some idea of what he wanted to do with it, but lost his interest? What size is your motor? What was the time span on this build from when you got it to what it looks like now? I can see where you and I have similar tastes in the look for these trucks! Is your guage cluster panel sheet metal, or is that milk white plexiglass?

Re: low budget 64
Thanks McMurphy......Your right this project belonged to a friend and his son. His son lost interest and it sat for around 4 years then i got it. So far for me its been 2 years in april. I just build one part at a time.As for the motor its a small block 350. I pull it out of a junk car. The guage cluster panel is sheet metal that i painted. Now for me the hard part is the body work ...Im learning as I go...Im going for the satin black look. last I have dmv to deal with. Im hopeing I can drive it this summer.
