We started this build almost a year ago and I had an old build thread that was filled with boring pics of rust repair that I havent posted in it for a long time so I thought id start a fresh thread. I'll start from the beginning, my grandpa owned this truck since 85 and after showing interest in it for awhile he eventually gave it to me with the stipulation that I must fix it up and never sell it. Me and my Dad were originally going do to a quick clean up, lower it and drive it and thought it would be great for my first truck,but after tearing it apart we decided to do it right and we eventually got carried away.

The beginning



The truck had some rust issues..



















Filled the cab seam


We had to mod the floor for the seats out of a 2008 silverado



And after countless hours sanding and filling it began to look like something



Put in new brake lines and welded in a hitch that will be behind a flip up licence plate




And finally last weekend we got the firewall and jambs painted




Then the engine went in..







More to come...
