bagged 8 lug

so i thought i would start a thread. look forward to any and all feed back. I have a 65 c20 that i picked up with very little rust, running with a 283. My plans are to bag it and turn it into a rat rod. I am doing this on a very low budget. here are some pic of my work so far.

Re: bagged 8 lug

i chose the c20 cause not many people bag the 8 luggers so i kind of want to be a little different than the norm..... started with the front. Cupped the lca's got my ideas from another member. had some real trouble getting the passenger side ball joint out but never gave up and finally got it done.

Re: bagged 8 lug

actually plan on leaving stock drums for now. Just want to get it bagged and paint it flat(not sure what color yet) and just cruise it. Im thinking once that is done i might in the future z the front to lay rockers than convert to disk. any pics of your truck???
