I'm baaackkk...lol

Been a LONG time since I have been on here.
I was hit on my motorcycle in Dec. 2006 and ended up having to sell my 72 to help cover bills.

I've since bought-built-sold a 2006 Corvette.

Now to why I'm back.
I had bought a 67 Short Step for my brother and took it to him in Colorado about 4 years ago. As it turns out, he doesn't have the time, place or funds to fix it. So, it's coming home with me this elk season.

I had also bought a 69 4-bolt 350 for it as well.
I told my step son the frame will be powder coated with all new brakes etc...
but that I won't be painting it.

I'm going for a rat-rod type build with this truck. It will be mechanically rockin' but visually, not so much.

I already have a tilt column and cruise control set up left over from past projects so it will be a really nice running and driving truck, just ugly as home made soap.

Pics taken when I first bought it several years ago.
