Re: 69 Pro street project

Welcome to the forum nitrofn . It looks like you are the typical custom trucker. You just wanted to do one small thing, but then you opened up a can of worms and look where you are. Don't feel bad, everyone here has done it before or will be doing it in the future...

Re: 69 Pro street project

nitro,looks like you got it bad.Not only do you get carried away,you're also a perfectionist.And it's a 67-72 "the most loved truck".Now you've gone and done it.You will get it back together but "is one of these trucks really ever done?"
Good luck with it,it looks to be an awesome ride.

Looks awesome! Where did you get the front suspension from? What are you doing for a powerplant in there?

Re: 69 Pro street project

Looks great nitrofn! That rear end looks very familiar...it wouldn't be from the shop in Pasadena that Ron Wells if part of, is it? I can't remember the name. What part of town are you from? Keep us posted on the progress.
