Low budget Garage build "Ted"
 

I've been reading this forum for a while now. I've been working on my pick up even longer. I think I might have figured out the hardest part of the build.....posting pictures haha. I hope this works!!

The last time I drove this little guy was '99. It was parked in the barn sense then.

I am a total restore rookie with "some" mechanical sence. It has been a lot of fun to see it come together. My little girl for some reason named him "Ted". I have know idea where she came up with that. Anyway, hope this turns out ok.

i always wanted to stay as original as possible. i did however put discs on the front. that is my angel helping with the new spindles.

the order of pics are a little off.....sorry
like i said...total rookie at the restore as well as the computer

POR15 the inside of the cab floor and firewall as well as underneath the cab.

sorry about the pictures being rotated.

Looks like a great project, but in the title it says low budget and it is down to the frame :smoke: :lol: Good to see the kiddo out there helping you out.

As for the pics, when you take cell phone pics turn your phone to the left where the volume button points towards the ground, perfect every time. ;)

Looks like you had a solid foundation to start with. Nice progress so far.

thanks guys!! as far as the "low budget", i wire brushed and rattle canned the frame. being a new guy i prolly spent more on cans than i would have blasting and painting hahaha. oh well, i'll know better on the next one.

thank you for the picture help too. i'll do that from now on
