Clean and classy! Very nice.

Looking nice! Love the blue! What brand of paint are you using? What is the color or paint code?

Good read. You will have to share more of your writing!

Too nice of a truck for a High Schooler. I think kids need to drive beaters in school to truly appreciate and respect a nice vehicle, a right of passage that should be earned with good driving habits and proper vehicle care and maintenance.

Uncovered the truck due to really nice weather! Saw it as a photo opportunity!

You could add a power steering box and go with a smaller diameter steering wheel.

Very nice! Are you running a different lug pattern between front and rear now, or did you do something with the rear axle?

Your pictures are great! Probably the best step by step suspension swap I have seen! How much $ are you into for the whole swap? How much is the average joe going to have to budget to do this swap?

The Rustoleum cans are an 8 oz. So $34 divided by 6 cans= $5.60 for an 8 oz can $5.60 divided by 8 oz= .70 cent per oz The Duplicolor cans are an 11 oz. $8 divided by 11 oz= .72 cents per oz So actually, both brands cost about the same per volume.

Good reading material, might help.

What part of Oregon are you in?

Steve, when you are done with the motor, what kind of horse power and torque is it going to produce?

I have always been amazed how much better thing seem to come apart and go back together with a few 4 letter words!

Anthony's truck build I believe was on a mid 70's 4x4 chassis. You might look over his build pages. Not positive on this, but some where I think I read that the latter chassis are a little wider than the 65 chassis, so one may have to redo body mounts on the frame. I like the project Idea, If I was ...

I made a wiring harness from scratch for my Jeep, pretty simple, but by the time you buy all of the wire, connectors, and the little things that make up a harness, I think it would be cheaper to just buy a universal harness kit. Unless you can get all of the materials needed at wholesaler pricing. :...

Happy wife = Happy life

I have always found that the best way to approach a basket case project, is to loosely reassemble it to find out exactly what you have!
Will be good for title transfer and vin inspection too, a lot of states would prefer to inspect a vehicle that looks like a vehicle, rather than a pile of parts.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

The body looks to be in really nice condition. Looks like a good solid foundation for a project. Put it together this spring and drive it this summer!

I have my computer hooked up to our home theatre, surround sound, sounds really nice in stereo!
