SWB budget frame off- East Tx Squares style

[grayharville]

Hey yall, I thought I would start a build thread for my longtime SWB project.

Ill start with the very beginning.

Summer 2007 I spied an 81 swb stepside behind my cousins house, it was obvious it had been sitting for awhile, there was motor parts laying everywhere inside it and both door windows were busted out. It was originally a 6cyl/3OTT but now had a very nappy looking 350 and a th400 with one ear broke off the bellhousing. I got it right though, 500 bucks cash. It was named Steppy. I fell in love with the truck and had big plans for it; I couldnt wait to drive it to school.

Once I got it home I realized it was in bad shape. Me and my dad originally planned to build it together but unfortunately that never happened. It was put out to pasture and with me lacking knowledge, skills, and help it was never touched.

The Beginning






I HATE RUST








Now on to the rebirth...
