Project: Addiction
 

Through the years I have bought many old cars and trucks... My problem is after I finish building them I lose interest and sell them so I can build something different....this hobby is definitely an addiction. I know most of you here share this addiction.... Which i was I have properly named this project, haha. Here are some pics.....

First Pic is the bottom of the cab with truck bedliner on it....

Second and third are the etch primer....

Fourth pic is the factory tank set up for fuel injection....

Re: Project: Addiction
 

cool build! Looking forward to the progress!

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Looking good so far!! Any before and after pictures? Clean cab.

Re: Project: Addiction
 

These are kinda the before pics.... I bought another shortbed frame and a cab from my buddy who has a junkyard of 67-72 trucks and blazers (I'll post pics of that later). Im building them up and then swapping everything from my current truck to the new frame and cab.... while trying to restore everything in the process

Here is a pic of the donor truck currently.....:chevy:

Re: Project: Addiction
 

nice "donor" truck to start with!!!

Re: Project: Addiction
 

pretty sick donor truck!! Imagine the Resto!!

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Man this is going to be EPIC!! I'd love to see this 67-72 yard your buddy has too!!

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Did you bedliner the top side of the floor, also?

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Man, I hope my "after" truck looks like your "before" truck...

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Yeah it will look close to the same..... The reason for the new cab and such is because I bought it then noticed the floor is kinked cause it was t-boned sometime in its life whick puts a lot of the gaps off.... Also the so called "rust free Nevada body" is not even close to rust free...

Re: Project: Addiction
 

I havent yet... but its coming!! Im trying to get this truck as quiet as possible on the inside....

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Its pretty sweet... I say I'm addicted to automobiles..... this guy is addicted to 67-72's!!! (Mostly blazers but he has like 4 or 5 trucks) He has like 12 rust free doors.....he hoards all of the parts he can get from the high desert so they look brand new just with faded paint... I'll post some pics tonight...

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Thanks man.... Im originally from KC too....

Re: Project: Addiction
 

Does he sell the parts or just hoard them for himself?

Re: Project: Addiction
 

He'll sell parts for sure.... I think he just enjoys the hunt.... He really doesnt need half of what hes got.... just PM me if you need something cause i dont want this turning into a parts for sale thread :lol:

Re: Project: Addiction
