Project Old fishing truck
So i went and bought another truck as if i needed more on my plate of things to do. My plane is to take this old fishing truck in 3 months time from what it is to a head turning custom on a reasonable budget all while still working a full time job and still being a dad and husband. I want to bag and body it and go from lwb to swb and speed up the age process on the paint and give it more patina. I also plan to put this truck up for sale when i am done so someone else can enjoy the custom bagged truck seen. That's the plan anyway.

Remember, don't sacrifice family time for "truck" time. Our projects have a way of consuming us. Whats the reason for the short time frame you have set?? Keep us updated with your progress, CKCP!

Re: Project Old fishing truck
A small amount of progress was made i have about 3 hours in tare down so far and 3 hours in pressure washing 40+ years of dirt oil and grease off. i also got the massive 8 inches cut off the back of the frame.
I can stack them 2 deep in this garage http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps999cad1b.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps61d79996.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f088aaa.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...pse8b88f38.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps03a741f8.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps50222703.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1fbde5d7.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...psab67a82a.jpg |
Re: Project Old fishing truck
I made a little more progress on the truck have not had as much time to put into it as i would have liked to so far but i did manage to get the front clip off the motor pulled and 90% of the grease and dirt build up cleaned off and i also found a sweet surprise under it all. "Factory" hand cut power steering brackets they are by far my favorite find so far on this build.
