NF65 new lwb build

[NF65Fleetside]

Wel lthis will be my main thread for the build up of my new 65' C10. Its really not going to be a custom but I figured I would post something up cause we all love pics and build threads, lol.
Right now its a pretty solid platform to start with. The rust spots are nothing major and ......well lets rewind that, this morning while cleaning the P.O. trash out, in the passenger corner of the cab there was about a good handfull of rust colored sludge. I mean I couldnt tell if it was metal or gravel...but it was pretty moist, almost as if it just had recieved some water. I probed around and couldnt find any rotting spots, corners and rockers look solid, floors from underneath look good as well. I dont know, Ill have to take up the carpet and see whats really up.
Quick plans are to lower it on super junkyard budget, Chevelle rear springs and cutting 1.5 coils off the front. Take off the farm truck mirrors and swap for just a drivers peep mirror. Loose the whip antena, no radio so no need for it. Find some steelies and match them with some new red pin tires.(anyone know of a cheap tire source for those?)


Looks like this back dent was at sometime patched with a little bondo work. I think Ill be able to mallet it somewhat smooth though in the near future.


Ass view, bumper is coming off when I lower the truck. Anyone know why the old beds lopside like that?


Bed wood is just some make shift slats bolted to the steele rails underneath, functional so I dont care.
