I think I might rename the project White Lightning. I'm stuck in the office today, and I've been dreaming about paint schemes. I know its a long way off, but here is what I have come up with:
I think I like the gray top with white lightning better.
I might tear the bed off this weekend. I need to either cut the frame and "stretch the cab frame like 68 TT did:

Or I'm thinking about moving the rear spring hangers forward to line up with the wheel wells in the bed? Anyone ever do this? Is it structurally OK to move just the hangers, or should i move cross members too?
I'm also planning on the 67/68 hood swap that LFD did on his low buk build:

I picked up a straight 67 hood to try the swap. My 70 has a pretty good dent in it, so its worth a try, I think.
ANYONE positively ID the front axle above as a Dana 44? I'll try to get a better picture this weekend. Hopefully I'll get a lit of higher quality pics this weekend. I've got a lot of projects going now:
1994 Dakota engine swap (bought 2 trucks to make 1 good one)
2001 Hyundai Elantra door swap (bought it after PO collision)
1973 Plymouth Roadrunner frame up (my high school daily driver)
1981 frame house drywall & shower insert swap (my wife is going to make sure this one is done first, even though its at the bottom of my list!)
My old car as it looked in high school - 10 years ago... now its disassembled in the shop. Probably be another 10 years before I finish it... Maybe my son will take an interest in it...
