I have always been partial to the body style. Over the next few months tearing into her again and doing some more. Suspension, brakes, bed wood and seat.

To make my truck look closer to yours..

I want it to look like a truck like I would have seen or built in the late 70's. The truck drives pretty good but stopping and handling suck with drums and stuff. I am not cutting this truck as much as I want to have my front bumper touch earth, its not gonna happen.

Top priorities are:

Front disc brakes, drop spimdles,new suspension and lowering springs. I have static dropped mini trucks before and I really wanted to go with bags but it is just not in my budget. Probably ECE 4.5/6 drop and brake kit from them. I used this truck as a daily driver for most of the past two years and driving in heavy traffic with idiots puckers my butt some days. Gotta get better brakes.

I need a new bed floor, I wripped the old one out a few days ago. Probably going with a kit from one of the vendors.

The seat was recovered probably 10 years ago with red velour and black vinyl. The red is now pink, yuck. Gonna be red and creme tuck and roll. Nice guy down the street that works on a lot of classics and show trucks.

Other than that just a few little things, she runs great and everything else works.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

^^^^

Are you wanting fresh bedwood or would you consider some "weathered" bedwood? I still have the red oak I pulled out of mine during the resto. It's still in pretty good shape, but I replaced with fresh ash.

Are you keeping the rallies or do you plan to change wheels?

I would entertain the idea of weathered. My last ride I built was a 68 Camaro SS full frame off pro touring, 50K car. Once It was completed It was too nice to daily drive and she just sat in my garage until I was forced to sell her a few years later.

I am not interested in doing that with this, don't have the money now either. Eventually I would like to switch it all over to 5 lugs and run 17/18 Coys. How much and can you send me some pics? What a pain in the ass to ship wood.

As soon as the snow stopped I cleared her off. We got 14" that day.
