my patinia'd 69

[69chevy lwb]

Heres my truck its a 69 chevy lwb with a 292 4 speed i paid 300 bucks for the truck so far i have cleaned up the inside replaced the rusted out floor, recovered the seat, added a 67 wheel and painted a few parts, cleaned up the engine bay as well, this weekend i painted the back half of the frame and dropped the rear 2 inches. I'm doing this truck as my senior project, I'm 17 and I'm doing all the work myself as well as funding the project, let me know what you guys think

Sweet truck for $300! That baby has a real nice patina. Great job on the floor repair and detailing. I'm honestly not feeling the love for that hood ornament though

[69chevy lwb]

Good luck it's looking good so for.

[69chevy lwb]

haven't made any progress other than removing the hood ornament and putting acorn nuts over the holes...kinda hard to save up money with 3 trucks and 60 dollars ever 2 weeks but i plan on bagging the 69 once i save up the money im leaving the 78 and the 88 alone for now. i got a 472 Cadillac motor i need to find something to put it in or sell it

Any pictures of how you bagged the front? Looks like you retained the stock A-arms. Do you add Drop spindles as well?
