87 R10 SWB - Low, Slow, and Full of Holes

[hobbz]

Project Name - Low, Slow, and Full of Holes

I just bought this truck the day before yesterday for $600. It has a good running 305/th350. I believe it sat for a few years because the drivers side has a good bit of rust, but the pass side has very little.

Plans are:
Strip it down,
fix rockers/cab corners,
clean and paint frame,
5/6 drop,
new drivers side fender,
new drivers bedside or fix with panels, not sure yet,
front and rear roll pans,
paint darkish blue,
16" black wheels,
tarp on bed,
black interior,
no/very little chrome on it when done...

Planning on taking about a year to get it done so the wife doesn't complain too much about the money I am spending on it.

Here are the start pics. I started stripping it down some yesterday, but didn't get pics. I am going to try and get the fenders and hopefully the bed off tomorrow and will get pics then.





Not sure what these seats are out of, but they will be replaced with the factory bench most likely.
