I've been following your build since you started.
I completely understand what you mean by wanting to drive your truck before you die..

I started my Prostreet truck project about the same time as you started this one... :-) mine was completely together and driving at one point but I wanted to change just a couple things... seriously. . (shaking my head in shame) still in pieces. .

$h*t happens. I'm doing small stuff right now not worth posting.

I'm also working on a full frame off 40 Ford Woody. That helps pay the bills and is taking up a lot of time.

So true! That sums up my build thread & continues to be why it's still dormant. Hang in there though.

Looking forward to seeing that finished Woody project.

My Goal is to work on only the Woody, my Truck and motorcycle this next year. When the Woody goes to get the wood done, I'll be working on my stuff until it returns, and will be awhile.

Your truck looks like it needs to hit the road! The steps are looking good. Keep it moving.

The body and bed aren't even bolted down yet. I have to fab the mounts because of the back half of the frame being from a 73. I want to finish the bodywork that is almost done, then do the frame and mounts. After the frame is done then I'll paint it, then mount everything permanently, wire it and get it running. That's the plan and I'm sticking to it..

You could probably knock all that out in an hour or two. Get to work!

Got it back on the lift. Hope I can get the cab & bed mounted.

**Palf70Step** · 04-12-2016, 04:07 PM

Good to see you getting back on the old beater truck

likaroc13 · 04-12-2016, 08:09 PM

I agree, glad you're getting back to it. How long has it officially been since you tinkered with it?

It's been only about 6 months. I've been doin small jobs since the 40 Woody is having the wood installed. When it comes back to me I have to finish painting it. Customers been taking up most of my time. I guess I can't complain.

Here's the paint I did on the Woody

Strodder · 04-13-2016, 12:58 AM

I wish all this work was done to the 65. But making money comes first.

likaroc13 · 04-13-2016, 10:33 AM

I hear ya. Need to have some money in order to spend it. The Woody is looking good!

Strodder · 04-13-2016, 11:15 PM

Thanks

rkn463 · 07-03-2016, 07:16 AM

I'm really glad to see this one moving along again, I had almost given up hope. It's looking great, that woody is going to be badass too!

-Richard

Strodder · 07-03-2016, 10:28 AM

Thanks Richard. But I'm still getting distracted.. Very soon I'll be back on it. Looks like I'm going backwards, but will finish the bed with it off.

Strodder · 07-03-2016, 10:30 AM

Open for more customers, and work on my truck too.
