75 chevy longbed "project shoestring"
75 chevy longbed. I'm calling it shoestring as in shoestring budget..if I cant fab it, barter or trade for what I need, I wont buy.
plans to lower it (no bags), I already have a .030 350 with a 700r4 just about ready to go in it. Completely custom interior, I totally gutted it including the factory dash frame, I am building a custom dash, center console, etc for it. I have a set of original wide rally wheels for it, I will be doing some fairly extensive body mods such as shaving handles, frenched in caddy tail lights and license bucket, roll pan, front bumper, going to fab my own cowl hood. I will post what pics I have so far...enjoy and please comment!! These are all before pics, I bought the truck for $400 |

Yep, shoestring budget.. here are a couple of dash pics, (very) rough fiberglass and wood stage, I will be using Equius gauges, and the dash will feature some very trick feature which I will explain later...
