WTF 71 chop

[bubbletop1961]

This all started as something I just couldn't pass up. A 71 cab that had been chopped about 4" in the 80's. And now in bad shape with lots of rust in the floors. And the right kind of price. So here we go, I couldn'ty possibily screw this up right?
The cab came with a front clip. So I found a frame, some bed sides. First I channelled the cab around the frame. Then installed drop sindles with 3"/5" drop springs. Its close to my goal of 4" off the ground. In the pics, Its 5.5". But thats with no doors, front clip and bed sides. And goofy truck tires. I think it will be lower.
This build is supposed to be a budget build. I want to do everything myself. I want it to look as old school as i can. Always wanted to try a old custom. Cut something up and put it back together.
