Re: New here, 69 long bed build
I'm gonna start by fixing the rear axle, convert it to power steering, and power brakes.

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
Welcome Mando. Enjoy fixing it up but enjoy it while you fix it up. You have a great truck there that will last another 44 years.

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
Welcome to you from east Arkansas. Good plan make it safe, stop and steer, then update/upgrade the suspension. The more projects you can do on it while keeping its driveability is important cause nobody likes a truck as much when it doesn't run. Jim

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
pulled my truck in the shop finally. among other things I'm doing a power steering conversion, switching the alternator to passenger side, replacing rocker panel and cab corner, putting gas tank in bed, and painting motor.

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
so I just bought a short bed and frame. I was planning on cutting my frame and bed floor, buying short bedsides and putting it back together. then I found this on Craigslist. its a 71 ac cab, frame was cut down (I plan on rewelding it) doors are good shape, and it has disc brakes all around. only thing the bed needs is a new step. at 700 bucks I tought it was a good deal. after selling my long bed its running me 550. Im also selling my long bed frame and two doors so in all I paid like 100 bucks
