35 Years In The Making! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

casey g · 11-23-2012, 09:58 PM

Well this is a build for my dads 64 Chevy short box. This is the first vehicle he ever had and has held on to it for 35 years.
The top has been chopped 4 inches, been body dropped 3.5 inches and now Pro Street.
In some of the photos the bed was not mounted yet so the body lines are off
Slowly pictures will be added.
Hope you guys like the truck!

casey g · 11-24-2012, 02:05 AM

I know you were talking about this truck. It's nice to see pics. I know you will have the best pics on this forum. You need to have a build on your 72 also. Everyone will want to follow your CAD designs on you trailing arms.

So you're building a '72 Casey?

Hey do you have any pics you can post of your dad's truck from say 20 years ago, before he tore it down?

casey g · 11-26-2012, 11:22 AM

Not sure if I can get some of those old pics up but I will try. And ya I'm building a 72 with a 68 clip. It's lowered On some 20s now. But want to get lower!

Casey lets work all night while the shop is still warm.

casey g · 01-13-2013, 09:38 PM

Today my dad and I worked on the truck and started on the tilt bed. The reason we are doing this is, if we ever get a flat there is noway we would be able to get the wheel off without a lot of work.

**Captainfab** · 01-14-2013, 01:10 AM

Now that we know you have heat out there, there's no excuses for not getting anything done
