Re: Slow moving '79 1 ton project

Hey guys. It's update time. I've driven the truck a little more lately, despite still having basically solid rear suspension.

MAJOR UPDATE THOUGH: I got the wood bed built. I just have a few more issues to sort out on it, such as where to put the filler neck, notch out the sides for tire clearance, treat the wood, and mount it to the frame, but I do have some mock up pics.

Here we go:




Keep in mind it's not mounted, we just eyeballed things for the photos. The people in the pics are my friends who helped me out with the project.

after recently deciding to keep the truck (I had in my mind I was gonna sell it for a while), I'm going to slowly upgrade/fix things to my liking. probably step number 2 after the bed will be finding some more managable springs for the rear and possibly the front depending on how low I want to go with the truck.

I'll keep this updated as I go along so have fun watching!
