"The Great Pumpkin" Build

I bought this 1964 Service truck north of Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. It has a 250 inline with a 4 speed in the floor. Looks like it had some sort of PTO on it at one time because it has another shifter coming out of the hump beside the 4 speed shifter.

The driver's door frame is bent, so I have another piece coming from DPowers to cut and weld it in place. I'd like to find another orange fender to replace the driver's side one.

Plans: 5.5/7 or 4.5/6 drop, whichever will work the best(lowest), disc brake kit on the front, 700r4, swapping everything over to 6 lug, and I've already purchased a set of 22 inch transit wheels.

My only concern is can I go 7 in the rear? also concerned about the weight of this thing and how it will ride.

Re: "The Great Pumpkin" Build

That "other shifter" should be your ebrake, trucks 20 series and up had a floor mounted ebrake

That's cool. I think I saw this truck on Craigslist when I've been looking for parts.

Pumpkin should be a good build. Looking forward to watching it happen Bryan.

Re: "The Great Pumpkin" Build

Love to see the "work" trucks being built. I will be watching this. Can you tell why the rear bumper is so far out?

Not sure if this is why but I've seen some where the rear bumper slides out to reveal the spare tire

I'll take a better pick of it. They modified it and dropped it down. I have another bumper I'm going to use. I'll have to cut this one out.
