Project Phoenix

[Danny Bost]

Hi

This is my first time posting to a thread like this but here goes. I am taking on a large project that has changed a lot over the years. This truck has a lot of sentimental value to me. In 2003 my brother in law, who was about to pass away, gave me this truck. It was pretty nice at the time and it ran great. I drove it for a few of years, then I parked it. Then in 2008 my son and I got it back on the road so that we could drive it and build it together. He was driving it one day and it started smoking from the hood. To make a long story short, before he could get the hood open it broke out into a full blown fire. The truck burned to the ground for all practical purposes. I then drug it around through several moves and a divorce. I have since got remarried and my new wife bought me a parts truck for Christmas so I could start the re-build. She doesn't mind the project truck, but she cant stand seeing nothing happen with it. Anyway the project has now moved in a bit of a different direction. I am going to use the cab and front end off of my 68 parts truck and the bed off of my 71 SWB. I am unsure of the drive train as of the moment. I also have a 91 Cparice that was built as a cop car. It has the posi rearend, the fuel injection and it just happens to have the same track width and wheelbase as a short pickup. I may put the body on the caprice frame, I don't know yet. I have included a few pics if the two trucks and I will update the sight as things change.
