Project "Shop truck"

[shorty72]

O yeah its beginning!!!
The story of the truck is that when i turned 16 my dad gave me a 1972 chevy 3/4 ton longbed to drive to school and work. Well that summer i found a short bed and 1/2 frame. So after a few weeks grinding and grinding and grinding on the frame I got all of the crusty rust off of it and painted it. Then after a few paychecks I ordered a drop kit form early classic enterprise 4/6 btw and put it on. A few weeks after that I was ready for the swap. I parked the truck and began to rip on it. in a matter of hours I had the whole front end off and the motor in the 1/2 frame. Then swap, swap and more swaping. At the end of a long weekend i rolled out of my dads house with a lowered shortbox chevy. I drove it tell my senior year of highschool and one month from graduation i rearended a guy. It didnt total it, the guys bumper went right through my grille and bent my core support against the engine. so after a month of working on it between school, work and my girlfriend it was back on the road. That brings us up to today, im 18 now and have always dreamed about opening my own restoration shop. Im fallowing my dream and going to school for business and autobody. This is where my truck comes in, im going to build one hell of a shop truck to help my future shop grow hopefully. So it begins, Im going to...
