Re: Project: Blank Slate
Yes I probably should, but I am new to this...thanks to Nate's truck being on the LMC cover. I love that truck and had to find out more about it and my search for the owner lead me here. Let's call this a Nate tribute truck since his truck was the inspiration for this build. Maybe I will start a build thread on the next one. My wife and I should have this one complete in the next 30 to 45 days and as much as it kills us, we have already sold it. As far as the rear end, we removed it from the truck and blasted it using aluminum oxide. It was a horribly messy job. I was covered in black soot from head to toe, but it sure cleaned it up well. The paint is good old shake-em and shoot-em dark gray engine paint that mimics a raw cast iron look well. I can get you the exact brand tomorrow.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner Matt; it's been crazy around here. Glad to see that you found it.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I just love this truck, great find and improvements. I'm debating how to lower my truck, and would like your evaluation on your set up. What you've done I could afford, but I'm trying to remove the coil over full cross member from my options. Due to price and amount of work, but I like the ground clearance and handling potential better.
How much better does your truck ride from stock, smoother, cornering? I see you chose a manual master cylinder, I like the clean look without a booster. How much better is the braking? Any regrets now that you've driven it a while? Thanks and again awesome build. Mike

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Mike... I didn't do a coil over crossmember on my truck. It is only springs, spindles ans shock relocators. The truck rides amazing.
I kept with the no-power brakes since it came from the factory that way. Number of regrets = 0 (ZERO)

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I figured I would use my 23,000th post to bring back the build that I've enjoyed so much. I'll try to not get to sentimental, but my life has changed drastically from when I joined this board back in 2005. From different jobs, marriage, different project trucks, the birth of my first born, so on and so on. The acquaintances I've made from behind a keyboard have resulted in great friends and some members that I consider family.
Support the board, support your friends, your family and support your country. God bless!

Re: Project: Blank Slate
your pickup is one of my top five favorite 2wd swb pickups around. I have really enjoyed watching your build come together and has been a real inspiration for the up and coming build of my '72
