61 GMC 4x4 1ton build

[ky-donzi]

Hello all.
I thought I would post a few pictures of my project. The backgound is I was wanting a new truck, I have a 06 powerstroke and almost traded it in this spring, but I hate the idea of a payment been 5years without one, and really hate the idea of having to be extra careful not to scratch a new truck. So I decided to build me a truck instead. I will keep the powerstroke and not worry about scratches and have something that no one else around has.

Anyway the truck is a 61 GMC 3/4 2wd cab on a 4wd 80 suburban frame with a 4bt cummins diesel, ranger o.d. unit coupled to a muncie 465 4 speed, 205np transfer case, dana 60 front and dana 70 rear. I have taken 5 trucks so far to get to this point. I have a alot of work ahead but here is the begining of the build. The truck will have a dump flat bed when I get finished.
