 ) http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=241695I am heading up to Napa in the morning to look at a 40 chevy PU that I will be doing some mods and body and paint to in the next month or so. I also have another board members 2wd blazer comming in next week to start a suspension job on. He is going Air ride with a few mods. I will also be getting extd56's crew cab back next friday or monday for a few more finishing metal touches. And I might also be starting the 4dr burb build that is sitting in my side shop right now. I am going to look at a doner cab tonight for some parts I need for the door jamb. This will also get shortened down to a Tahoe before I sell it  I am in talks with a guy who has a 33 Dodge PU that he got from his dad after he passed away. He wants to modernize it and I want to do the work so I am writing up a perposal of posible ideas that I will present to him in a few weeks. Other than that I have beed slacking and not doing a damb thing. Oh did I mention I painted a 46 4dr chevy street rods last weekend! Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Your on a mission my friend.
Im more tuned with mechanicals and suspension compared to paint and body,I can do those too but I get lazy on those items because I dont have the place to do the complete body and paint start to finish but do have for getting brakes,suspension,engine,drivetrain up to par and driveable.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Hey Kevin,
Just wanted to give you some props for completing such a beautiful truck with great custom touches fairly cheap and for DRIVING IT. You're a great asset to this board. I look forward to watching your other builds progress.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I didn't see a final total on time and money.
I have to say that a nice set of polished wheels would go a long way to make a great looking truck look better. The thing is to nice to have a set of stock wheels on it. |

Maybe tonight I will go back and figure out the totals. I will be keeping the stock wheels because what I was going for was a stock looking truck at first glance and I think I pulled it off. Plus now my vehical fund is starting to build up for my blazer build. I have a few more builds I will be doing just to sell to help fund the 2wd Blazer. I have $435 more to spend on LowBuck to get the bed done but that is about it. This weekend My wife and I spent 2days together crusing the truck around Napa and the SF bay area. We had our son with us today for his first SF trip. We did about 300 miles or so just driving around looking at our next shop projects and seeing family and friends. Here are some pics of the next two shop projects that will be adding funds to the blazer build. 69 427 vett (paint job) and a 41 chevy pu getting some mods and full body work and paint. Then a few from our trip today.        Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Definately perfect weather for a cruise this weekend......took mine out yesterday. Seen that view of the Golden Gate coming in from the Marin side many times. Don't know if you've ever been, but right before you go over the bridge, you can exit to the right (stay right) and go up an incredibly scenic view road on the west side of the bridge......talk about beautiful on a clear day!
Looks like some cool projects your takin on.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!

That is one sharp truck you thru toghther by the way. How long have you been at the body work game?Quote:
The one I cut up was a big POS that was not worth saving. The only real usable parts were the B jambs. One was a good cab and I am using that one for a new project so it will not see the crusher but it may have if I did not save it. Wait untill you see the 67 small window cab I might be cutting up for the B jambs next Here is were they are going. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=285070 Kevin LFD Inc.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I had to opportunity to go for a ride in Low Buck this past weekend as well as drive it. I did not take it much over 15 mph ( I know how much work has gone into it and did not want to be the one to wreck it). Kevin took me for a little spin and I will say only this. If you thought it looked good you should see and feel how it handles. That LT1 and beefed up 700R are an excellent combination in the truck. I LIKE IT. I hope I'm not disappointed when I get mine running (327 and turbo 350).
Thanks Kevin. Nice Truck

I started doing paint and body when I was about 16 so that means I have been around it for about 20 years or so. I have done a few restrorations for others but my '67 short-step is the first I have done for me. Always something new to learn. I own Quality Body and Paint Solutions in Sutherlin, OR and I can't imagine doing anything else for a living. I love working on cars and this line of it keeps me from getting all greasy and nasty! You know, what I love about this site is that everyone has a different idea of what is cool. Gives me a fresh new way of looking at things and how to get to the end of a project. I'm keeping an eye on your threads... keep up the good work! Don
