My 65 fleet side "StormTropper"

[BigSingleBoost]

Wanted to post a build thread I'm getting started on it here in a little bit progress won't be the fastest in the world due to life and the budget being cut in half due to buying a house. However I've been cruising the forum for a few months and have come to learn some pretty cool stuff. Anyway on to the pictures because that's what we all really want to see

I picked this bad boy up a few days ago bought it sight unseen from a buddy of mine. Came with early classic drop spindles, ccp drop springs, early 80's front disc conversion and the floor boards have already been replaced the right was as far as I can tell. Here she is!

Loaded up on the trailer




Got her back to a buddy's shop yesterday to drop the trans and see what's up with the factory tq converter.





The bed side is a little rough




I dont know why but everyone wants to cut these doors up and put speakers in the the passenger side is so bad I'm not even going to post it. It just makes me shake my head




Well that's where I'm at by the end if today hopefully she will be driving. She was my buddy's dd for 7 months 80 miles one way so she should run great!

Plans for the truck are to lay it out on the factory 15's with fat white walls,flat black interior with gloss accents, flat white primer job on the skin on the truck and throw a bump stick in it,a nice locker in the rear end or swap to a 9" rear. Every thing I've built before has been newer model stuff and they all include built trans and turbos usually big ones haha. Like I said it will take a while but it's gonna be a nice cruiser.
