Was Dad's
 

Started this project when I was 15. Couple years of work, then this truck got put on the back burner. 15 years later I'm finally wrapping up this project. This truck has been in the family since '75, and was used as a farm truck for many years.

That is a nice looking truck. I really like that blue. When do you plan to have it done?

Re: Was Dad's
 

July. Getting married and want this done for our wedding vehicle.
This friday my will wood brakes, 700R4 tranny, tubular control arms, bumpers, grills, boyd welding tank and a couple crates of odds and ends from lmc and dreamers show up, then the puzzle begins.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding.
That is a great list of parts. It sounds and looks like it's going to be a great truck.

Gonna be nice! Have fun.

That is a great looking project. Can't wait to see the progress.

Cleaned out the truck last night after many years of storage, and found the great surprise of dead mice. I did have a 355 built for this truck, and found mouse feces in the carb and just an overall mess. Have a buddy who will purchase the engine and the th350 tranny. Thinking of putting a 383 in to pair up with my new 700R4. Any input on where to order good crate motors from?

Re: Was Dad's
 

Friday my buddy and I start with removing the 355. Then we begin the puzzle. Anybody that has any input for installing any of the parts I ordered, would be much appreciated.

I had the factory bench seat re-done, however I found that being 6'3" I don't fit in the truck any more. I am looking for a nice 40-20-40 seat. Found on rv discount, not sure of their quality etc...

My goal is to have this truck done by June 23rd. Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated.
