Project: Ginger

[lolife99]

I don't really know where to start.
"Ginger" actually started out as a "Circus Wagon" tribute.
I was going to throw all my spare truck parts together and build a cool old truck like the world famous "Circus Wagon".
I had a really nice rust free white '68 cab,... an "original paint" fleetside short bed,... and a misc. pile of front sheetmetal.
I started buying "all things '68",... that I thought I needed.
I have an original '68 cloth seat that is really nice.
NOS this, super nice that,... the list goes on.
All parts were purchased from members here on this board!
(well worth the $25/year)

Then it happened.
Member n2billet was buying up all the sweet original paint trucks in the U.S.,... so I asked him to help me find one.
I was just kidding,... but he really did find me one.

1970, original paint, 1-owner, stepside.
250 6-cylinder/3-speed, radio delete, bare bones truck.
The options on the SPID are the interior and exterior colors.
So I sold the '68 cab and my fleetside bed and started working on Ginger.

Here's the original thread from May of 2010 when my buddy hot trux delivered it to my house after making a 10 hour round trip to go get it, while I was working.

The first 2 pics are from the Craigslist ad.
The other 3 are after I got it home.
