[Project] My 68.5. Starting over from ashes. LWB to SWB

[Stevo427]

Well I got a new to me 69 a couple months back after my blue 68 burned in a car fire. I'm in a rush right now so I'll organize this thread later so sorry for the clutter
Heres the new truck. It looks a lot nicer in pictures then in person which is why its become a project of mine.
Picture of it before and my cousins 71


Paint job was super bad. Was lowered by cut coils and taking a grinder the the frame. So the ride is really rough. Has the rearend of a 50's truck with a third bolt main.
But its a reliable driver I've already put well near 1000 miles on it with no problems at all.
I put my 68 front end off my burned truck on it
From this truck

To this truck



I sanded the hood down somewhat and painted on some striping which I liked a lot. Eventually she'll get a nice paintjob but not until all the body work is done.

Right now the truck is getting turned into a shortbed by a great guy named shane in Tulare CA who has done dozens of these trucks. Heres some of the newest pictures I have of the progress
The front Getting finished up

Maybe someone can tell me what this rearend is off of
