It all started with my dads old truck he had me overhaul for my high school ride. I was hooked on the body style after that. Owned a single cab that was chopped for a while. Bagged it rode it around then sold it. I seen a drawing in a magazine. It was a 64 avalanche. Loved it. I said I'm gona make one of those one of these days. I was 26 when I started. It's been three years now and still have a lot of work to do. I have a lot of picks of almost everything I've done to it. I know some stuff isn't up to par. But I did a lot of the build in my driveway. It started at my dads with his fork lift. I'll post more pics of the start but here's what I got so far. I haven't bolted the bed up right yet so yes the gap is tighter then that. I have other frenders that I need to cut and put on. But I wanted to primer so I could take a break. And not worry too much about the rust starting.
