1969 SWB "Let's save another one!"
Here we go again. Started work on this little truck a couple of weeks ago. It is already far above in condition than my last one. Plus, it is already a shortie. Does not matter it would be sooner than later if it was not. This truck was headed to a doom of being parted out by a friend of mine, and I mentioned in passing, that I would take it on before I let that happen. It had been involved in a front end smash and he pulled the sheet metal off, revealing the lt green cowl. It is a 69, and I favor the 71-72 look so at least I know we are headed in that direction. Also since it is a double trim truck, I will break the paint as such along with the white. NO rust under it , and a little on the doors. Not going to spend a small fortune on it this go-around, just get it on the road and enjoy it for a spell. It will get a flat rear bumper along with a replacement bed side on the left. I drove to Tenn and bought a nice 350/350 combo and got it set in place this past week. Dropped a wad of cash on Southern KY Classic's counter today buying all the little thins I need to proceed. A 3/5 static drop and some decent wheels should help the look. Stay tuned, I will update as I move along. Gonna keep this one for a long time. Here is a few photos to show off. Starting as found to now.
