Winter's Project
Being winter is sorta like forever up here,(kidding, I really like winter) I thought I'd start up another project. What's another 'iron' in the fire?
 I recently picked up a 71 2wd factory 402 truck with the intent on lowering it, adding some horse power and basically making a rod out of it. To my amazement just as I started looking for parts to do all this I found a thread of another member selling exactly what I was planning on doing to mine, he was selling a blasted/painted frame with an ECE 4/6 drop and a cab that already had the body work done and was ready for paint! Talk about a time saver!  So I picked it up.

Ya know Jeff, If you weren't so damn far away, I would be buying that burb from you right now. I have always wanted a classic that the entire family could cruise in.
Vt: looks like you have yourself a very worth while winter project there. Be sure to keep us updated with progress pics

The swb 4x4 goes into winter hibernation to keep my blazer company. The body work/paint will be done soon and having only 54,300 original miles on it I think I'll keep her close by for now but thanks for the offer.
