My Low and Slow Build

[BrokeTillDone]

New to this old truck world. Just purchased a 1961 truck. A couple of weeks ago my moms friend offered her the truck because he no longer had any interest in building the truck nor did he have space or time. My mom gave me a call and pretty much talked me into buying the truck sight unseen. I figured $400 for a truck that still started and drove was not a bad deal. I picked up the truck that evening and to my surprise it did not look all that bad. I drove the truck home which was only about 6 blocks away. It almost made it with out any issues until one of the rear tires decided to give out 2 blocks away. So here it sits awaiting its transformation. I have started to tear it down. Hope you guys enjoy this build as much as i think I will. Time for some pictures.


The bed is a little rough. Thinking it may be cheaper to find a nice bed instead of trying to fix this one.



Here is the interior. The Previous Owner put this seat in. Don't know what it came from but I like it.



This is what was swapped in. Pretty Crappy work!!! Had clothes hanger holding wires up. A bunch of wires that were spliced and taped together. A lot of missing bolts and I found extra bolts and screws through out the engine that were just laying there.



They thought they would save weight by only using 2 bolts to hold the motor down.
