here is a pic of what it should look like minus the trim on the side and it should sit a tad lower. LOL!

67chevy1series put it up in another thread. It looks Awesome!

67chevy1series · 12-19-2010, 03:34 AM

ya it does look pretty sick

RCbowtie69 · 12-19-2010, 07:33 PM

looking good so far, keep up the work and pictures coming

RCbowtie69 · 01-27-2011, 06:53 PM

just checking if u have made any progress on your build. looking good

mr.chevy · 01-27-2011, 09:15 PM

Well not really. I did start laying out the cut lines for the bed so that i can start the process of cutting it down. I will probably start working on it as soon as it starts warming up. I am also going to get some 5" drop springs for the back. That's really about it right now. When i start cutting i promise i will get some photos up.

67chevy1series · 01-27-2011, 09:39 PM

well you know we are gonna need some pics

mr.chevy · 03-13-2011, 12:57 AM

I know its been a while!

So I finally had some time today to start working on the truck again. A few weeks ago I ordered some 5" drop springs for the back. So I decided to get started installing them today. I got the rear end in and some wheels on it. It looked nice so I decided to put the bed on it so that I could have more room to cut it down. So after putting the bed on by myself, I decided that it looked too good to stop working on it. So I got my welder all set up so for the sheet metal. Then I braced it up with some angle iron. I started to cut one cut but it was late so it will have to wait. So what do you guys think of the ride height?

67chevy1series · 03-13-2011, 01:48 AM

looks great finally you have some progress!!!

got some work done today!

So today I cut the front section out of my bed and started welding it back together. It took a little more adjusting than most guys make it seem like is needed. I also ran into a lot of body filler. I think its quite substantial. I am going to have to use a piece of the other side of the panel that I cut off today. either that or I straighten it as best as I can. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.

mr.chevy · 03-19-2011, 09:19 PM

mr.chevy · 03-19-2011, 09:21 PM

mr.chevy · 04-03-2011, 11:00 AM

Thanks, Hope you enjoy them.

mr.chevy · 04-03-2011, 12:34 PM

So yesterday I worked a little on the truck. Mostly welding and trying to get that large dent out of the side of the bed. Man I need some more patience, It takes some time to make it look good. It also has some heavy sheet metal. I am surprised that these things ever rust through. I also worked on the seem inside the bed a little straightening it up. Well here are some pictures. Enjoy, and feel free to comment.

mr.chevy · 04-03-2011, 12:35 PM

Here is a picture of the seem inside the bed.

mr.chevy · 04-03-2011, 12:37 PM

Before and after and i don't think i am done.

The pics before don't really do it justice. It was pretty pushed in. I also had to weld pound cut to relieve stress and then re-weld to make it look like this

Scott Webster · 04-03-2011, 06:19 PM

Looks like a tremendous amout of work, but a labor of love. Looking great!

mr.chevy · 04-08-2011, 12:10 AM

So i got a used fender today. looks like its from a custom sport truck. Maybe its not, who knows. All I know is that its a lot straighter than the one on my truck. It has a little filler on it and some dents but nothing that i can't fix. Anyway I am hoping that I will be able to get some more work done this weekend. So I will post more then.

franky69c10 · 04-08-2011, 12:28 AM

Look'n good man

mr.chevy · 04-17-2011, 12:28 AM

Finally got some work done!
Cut the last 8 inches out of the bed. So this is a short bed now, and man is it short. its the stock size, i am just not use to it. I still have to trim and fit but you get the idea.

ryanmcb · 04-17-2011, 01:02 AM

Subscribed. I stayed at the same hotel as you for the cruise in a few years ago. I love the orange truck, super clean. Will this Truck be at any cruise nights this summer?

Glad to have you but I never went to a cruise or stayed in a hotel. I think you may have me mixed up with someone else. sorry. This truck wont be done for a while due to a meager budget.

I did have this truck at the one man band diner in Spanish Fork for the last show of the year last year before i started tearing it down.

that orange 54 Chevy isn't mine. I liked it a lot and i took a pic of it.

PS where are the cruise nights here in Utah?

thanks for looking

ryanmcb · 04-17-2011, 07:20 PM

Got it, I thought the 54 was yours. There are a lot of cruise nights in Utah. Here is a link that outlines the show every month.
