Let's Do This!!
In October of last year i traded a couple motorcycles for an un-registered 64 Shortbed Stepside. This truck was In pretty rough shape. Initially my plan was to get it running, slam it and throw one of those Mexican blankets over the tore up factory seat. My buddy, who owns a shop down the street from me told me to bring it down and evaluate it.
Since that time we have removed the cab, the bed, motor and Trans, z'd the frame installed front discs n spindles, re-lined brakes, installed a mustang fuel tank. I am installing bags n manual dloe valves. I am so excited to get this truck on the road and start showing it off at the local shows. I will post some pics soon. |
