x2 on keeping the push bumper

Don't worry the bumper is on the truck.

I wouldn't even paint anything on it .. perfect, as is. The exact look so many people are after and something I think only 40+ years in the weather can create.

Make it safe, dependable and drive it !

X3 on the push bumper.

Wicked cool truck. Wish I had just done that to mine rather than blowing it all apart. Good luck on the build.

i think it would be cool to "put back" some lettering on the door, whether its a ficticious garage or a old defunct gas station. Go to a old school SIGN PAINTER, and have him re-letter it then weather it to match the old stuff...
just an idea. Truck looks wild. Good luck on the build.

Great truck man! In the picture by the 66; besides the 3" and 5" z of the frame, what other lowering parts have been used? Could it have been driven without the bags? Great work, keep it up.

quandelgarage · 10-04-2011, 04:42 PM

I made 4in lowering blocks for the rear, modified the driveshaft loop crossmember so it was flush with the frame and put exhaust holes through it. I made a raised transmission crossmember, and modified the front lower a-arms. I also modified the driverside upper arm so that the steering column would clear. It would have been driveable with just springs.

The truck was originally from Claude's shell station . I plan on putting that back on the doors. You can still see the letters vaguely when up close on the truck. I plan on painting the words and striping the truck here in the next few weeks.

Love the truck, hate the front bumper! just my opinion. nice fab work and keep the crappy old patina shop truck paint, i love the paint! u need to find some spray can paint that matches the old stuff for the rockers. kinda wish i hadn't stripped half of mine and primed it but pink pinstripes on baby blue isnt exactly cool. very nice project man, maybe some wide whitewalls (silvertown) to finish it off . love it

big_al_71 · 10-08-2011, 08:41 AM

this truck is awesome and cant wait to see it finished....

quandelgarage · 10-11-2011, 07:05 PM

Everything is officially wired up. Valves, compressor,and tail lights, and switches. This is what's left to officially drive it. Mount shocks, install driveshaft, run trans lines, finish rear brake lines, put radiator hoses on and add fluids and set timing on motor. Hopefully Thursday ill get most of that done.

bharrison1 · 10-11-2011, 10:21 PM

quandelgarage · 10-14-2011, 10:31 AM
