Re: Last Pics Before.....
Wow... what a build list! Can't wait to see it all together.
A few questions... what color are you going to paint it? what kind of time table do you have set? did you order your parts from ECE? Good luck with the build, and be sure to keep us posted, with plenty of pics along the way.

Re: Last Pics Before.....
Not sure of the paint color but it will be close to the current color. My time frame is 3-6 months depending on the weather. I plan to detail the frame. I bought the majority of my parts from ECE. ECE was very easy to deal with and I got to the point where they knew what I was going to buy next. I even bought the lowered crossmember and hidden hitch setup. I actually went crazy buying parts. I have spent about 5K in 3 months even while I was buying a new home. I actually got the truck two weeks before we closed on our house...

Re: Last Pics Before.....
It's gonna be nice when it's done.
You have another of my favorites lurking in the garage....the '66 Mustang GT. Life is good, huh?

Re: Last Pics Before.....
Sweet deal, very nice truck to start with...
Like the Mustang, one of my favorites is a 65-66 fastback or a 69-70 BOSS302 fastback. Keep us updated
