Ram-Man · 08-23-2006, 10:14 PM

I am a newb here. I didn't have any intentions of another project but I picked this up by luck for $100. I think I got lot of metal for the money. It's next stop was the crusher!! I plan on leaving a lwb and doing a frame off resto with a little lowering and some big chrome rollers of course. It has a 350 4 speed. Sorry for the Ram in my gallery.

Nice rescue Ram! It breaks my heart to see what once was a 67-72 GM truck "lowered" to about 6" tall on the flatbeds heading outa town. Should be a law against it. Keep us posted on progress.

Later---DAC

Nice Truck for $100! Drivers side box side looks real straight,hows the cab?
I just picked up a 70 Chev fleetside a few weeks ago for $50 but had to leave my race truck up at my buddies place 250 miles from house to haul it home and then go back and pickup my race truck,good thing I was on holidays!

Ram-Man · 08-27-2006, 08:37 PM

I now have it tore all the way down to the frame. The body is gonna need a little work but nothing that can't be fixed. I'm starting by having the frame sandblasted and spend the winter working on suspension and drivetrain. Thanks for all the welcomes!!
