Someone has blown this thing apart before. Everything is painted red and reassembled. Bummer the "friend" let it go. What's its history before with a frame off and suspension stuff being painted to match? Are you going to continue the red legacy?

Here are a few old trucks around Tulsa, Ok that the whole truck will be less expensive than the repairs to yours. Kieth

That red paint job was my grandfather painting everything with rattle cans in his garage. He didn't have the greatest equipment but he used what he had. He was trying to restore the pickup for it to be my first car, but he past away in 2001 before he got any further. That was a long time ago and I'm now 25.

Anyways, the plan for the color will be Daytona Blue, Maybe a little darker. Frame and components being gunmetal grey and black. Engine color Grabber green like DLoes. So bad ass looking. That's the plan, but we all know how well pans workout for in the end. lol

Made "OK" progress installing my Cnotch while I was home this Christmas weekend. I would have been further along but I hit a few speed bumps that delayed everything till the next time I'm home.

Fitting the rear crossmemeber and the panhard crossmemeber was FUN. lol using my hands and feet to move the frame into place.


Had to grind out the passenger front shock strut. I guess my grandfather thought it would be a good idea to weld it in. I think it turned out pretty good considering the tight space and only having a hand grinder.


****Any thoughts or comments on my work? Please be gentle
