62' SWB "Project sharktooth"

[bumwine]

It's been awhile since I've had a decent project besides my house. I use to have a 71' LWB but I decided to sell it when my wife and I decided to have a kid. The other day I apparently got a wild hair up my ass and picked up this 62.
Plans are to swap the frame, full PB suspension, and a LS swap. It will more than likely start out slow. I am working on the house getting it ready to be put on the market.

I found this at a old salvage yard. Thanks to my friend. I got lucky they had to drag it out and delivered it for free.


I rounded up some scrap tires and made this thing a roller

Good luck and good find! Looks like you found a good one.

Thanks. I was very happy to find one with no rust in the floor, cab corners, and rockers

Decided to tear her apart a bit today


I'm sure my neighbors love me for this one ha ha

The engine hoist is definitely the way to go but I didn't have mine at my house. It took me and three buddies to take mine off but it still had the doors and glass in it. We took it off and moved it around with two motorcycle jacks

I love the paint on the front grill. Lol

It was definitely the deal sealer when I was buying it ha ha. It may end up as wall art
