Well here in the northeast I got this truck for just $500 with a title. 1968 c20 camper special, 7500gvw. Frame is good, body is not. Here are my plans
4 wheel disks 4/5" drop with rear air assist for towing 20" wheels 383 stroker built for torque Cowl hood Tubular control arms front and rear 2 tone paint with electric blue primary and gunmetal silver Light window tint Modern bench seats with fold down console Led lighting Probably black interior (easiest to match) Bed cover? Figure out how to convert wood bed to steel West coast Jr mirrors I'm budgeting $20k (money I saved up to buy a brand new car) as I'm only 21 and school loans are killing me....I'm an automotive technician who specializes in European cars so this is a walk in the park! I am hiring out body work as I cannot do that :/ any feedback and tips are welcome! Enjoy the show |

Tubular Trialing arms will not hold up to the 7500 GVW... The Tubular are really design for Racing and extreme light loads...

Well I found a steel floor bed in rough shape. Looks like it'll need a bedside and some wheel arch repair. Looks like the make inner patch panels for it?

ok fine heres a quickie!
going to pick up the cab and frame from paint so i can throw the drivetrain in before he puts all the other panels back on. less for me to damage since i have no ability to do bodywork if it gets messed up! |
