64 Build "The Titanic"

[ziplock]

Hello all. New to the forum. My name is Marshall, this is my first build so I thought I would share with you all what ive been working on for the past year. Going a little different rout then the most. Let me know what you guys think.

Picked the truck up from a guy in the dallas area. He decided he was goin to try and restore it, but didnt get very far.





Time to start tearing her down.



Had the frame powdercoated


5 lug swap to run disk brakes, 2.5 drops spindles and a set of 2 in drop springs.


Got a set of 3in drop trail arms from Nate at Portorbuilt, along with a Bolt in notch. Frame is sitting on 5in drop springs.


I decided i didnt want to drill 20 some odd holes through my frame so i welded it up instead.





As for the motor. Kept the stock sixer.





And now here are some pictures of my cab and bed. I wanted to truck to look as though it had been sitting in the Texas sun for over a hundred years. I blasted the entire truck and let it rust. A bit crazy I know but its what I wanted and it turned out great!






I love the tailgate

I shot the firewall with an epoxy primer. the inners as well. Going for a clean engine bay.
