1975 Project FrankenTruck

Hello everyone I'm starting this build thread to post the progress of my build. I've been a member on this forum for a while but mostly on my last build in the 1947 - 1959 message board.

Back in the end of May I picked up this project 1975 FrankenTruck down in Southern Alberta Canada near Strathmore. Its been sitting in the garage since the end of May and has only been tinkered on a little bit (busy summer). Now that I've gathered some parts it's time for the work to commence and get this project started.

Its got SBC 350 and I believe a TH400 trans. The truck idles smooth and drives but has no brakes if any because the pedal goes to the floor. The main goal for this season is to get the truck moveable under it's own power and the suspension done. Then I can work on the interior over the winter and drive it come spring.

Its needs the complete interior done, some wiring re-done and a full suspension rebuild. Some think this might be over kill but I want everything to be new. I'll be starting by lowering the rear then leveling it up to the front of the truck. The parts I've gathered so far as follows.

-Rear flip kit
-Shock extenders
-Front Wheel Seals
-Front Shocks
-Front Brake Hoses
-Rear Brake Hose
-Front Calipers
-Adjusting Sleeves
-Front Outer Bearings
-Front Inner Bearings
-Outer Tie Rod Ends
-Front Rotors
-ACDELCO Master Cylinder
-Rear Shocks
-Idler Arm
-Pitman Arm
-Inner Tie Rod Ends
-Front Break Pads
-Brake Booster
-Dorman Upper Control Arms
-PV2 Proportioning Valve

Needed Parts:
-New drums(or have them turned)
-New brake shoes
-New Wheel Cylinders
-New Lower control arm bushings
-New Lower Ball Joints
-MaxTrac Front 2"-3" drop springs
-MaxTrac Front 2.5" drop spindles

This isn't no show truck or a complete restoration. It a 20 footer looker cruiser I call it on a budget lol.
