So lets talk about whats real.
Today is the first day I have really gotten to work on my truck. I have a goal of driving it on Memorial day in honor of my grandpa. After 23 years of not being driven it will be a big moment.
This is how my truck looked this afternoon.
My floor is the only realy rotten part but I already bought new floors.
Before I could start on my build I had to run and get my new parts truck. And I am really lucky my dad owns a tow service and I have free use of this nice flat bed.
My parts truck is a 53 shortbox. I only bought it for the fenders and the frame. I am going to build that frame and drive my truck. For only $400 I got a good deal and now I have the side mounted spare that I really wanted! The actual mount is missing but I have the dimpled fender.
Side note about the parts truck... It was wierd. It has a 6 lug rear and a 5 lug front but it still has the straight axle.... How?
And the parts truck has 2 bucket seats out of an early 60's Impala SS that I will use for the time being. It also had a console out of the same car with the SS badging so I can sell that on Ebay and recoup some of my money.
