Progress getting ready to start - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I just found a place to put my truck (1965) and start the reconstruction process on it. I will be taking it apart and striping all the old paint and body filler off and replacing all the bad metal. I am considering going back to handles on the doors and doing a 2" body drop. I'll try to keep the pics updated as I go. I will probably get started next week as I have to work tomarrow. Heres how it sits now.

Hey, I moved this to the proper forum for your year of truck. You do have a sweet looking truck, with a little TLC like you mentioned, it will be even sweeter! Keep us posted as you progress on it.
