Finally found my dream truck after three years of searching and a 62' swb. Here's a few pics to show what it's starting out like. Let the build begin and let me know what ya'll think.

front disc with drop spindles, new suspension- lowering it a little more, rally or smoothies, fix rust spots, remove window tint, remove paint off all the trim stripping.. last owner spray painted. Then next winter probably start a full frame off resto.

Today I stripped all the paint off that the last owner did on the custom cab- cab trim. Masked it off and painted it the way it should be. Here's a few shots of before during and after.

Congrats on finding the truck you wanted. Looking good and nice job on the sail panels!!

I may have an extra cover for the column that's missing on the driver side inner fender. I'll take a look tonight for you.

Can anyone tell me how to upload pictures without them showing up as a link. I want just the picture to show up like they used to.

Got half way done with the rear suspension lowering today. Everything came out much easier than in my 62' but getting the freakin' shocks to squeeze into the mounting brackets turned out to be a major pain. Also realized that it definitely needs C-notched, considering there's about 1" between the bump stop and axle. Driver side tomorrow and finished pictures.

That is a beautiful truck.

Just looks and sits right.

Black wheels somehow just do it for me along with the blue and white.

Thanks, they are definitely growing on me. Later down the road it will get rally wheels though.
