I'm the new guy on this street I guess

[Tx Firefighter]

G,day fellas,

Some of you may recognize me as the old 67-72 era guy, but I changed a bit recently.

I sold my 72 Super Cheyenne 2 days ago. Now all I have left is my 72 step side beater.

Today, I bought a real turd of a 63 truck...






It's actually really solid apart from the rockers and a bit of floor board. The cab supports and such are real solid. No sweat on that stuff.

My plan is to take my 72 stepside donor...


And relieve it of the following for the 63:

• 350 engine. Very sweet old engine with some cool legit vintage Corvette parts
• Turbo 350 transmission
• Front 5 lug suspension with Early Classic drop parts
• Power steering
• Front sway bar
• Steering column
• Driveshaft
• Rear 5 lug 3.08 axle
• Rear Early Classic drop components, super track bar, shock relocators, etc
• Seat
• Rally wheels with good tires

Before anybody poo poos me parting the 72, there is a reason. I built that truck from a 1 ton cab and chassis truck. It has a cab light roof. The frame was a freebie that is bent nearly an inch. The problem is, it is still titled as a 1 ton and the cops have hassled me a bit since it's obviously not a 1 ton any longer. Plus, I went through a divorce, and the judge awarded the truck to me legally, but she has the title and it is registered to her and won't give it to me. So, I have to hire a lawyer to take her to court and get the title to my truck.

By the time I mess with all that hassle, it's better to simply remove the whole list of part above and part out the remaining body pieces left over. Even if I did have the title, no one would want to buy a short bed truck that is registered as a 1 ton utility truck anyway.
