This was my grandpa's truck, he bought it new in 1965 and I got it from him around 1987. I got started on the mechanical side (new brakes, rebuilt the engine, changed over to 3:40 gears, all new wheel bearings, new u-joints, pretty much everything!)..... Then life happened with marriage and 3 kids, the build came to a grinding halt. I have this year just got back to restoring it.
My grandpa used this truck on the farm and the body was pretty well shot. I ran ascross this donor truck which I bought from the guy who bought it new in California. The Body is nearly rust and dent free ( for this era truck it is rust and dent free ). It has been sitting since 1977 so it would have to be completely gone through mechanically.
So I am taking the drivetrain from my Grandpa's truck and putting the donor body on it. This truck is a wide bed which I am ready to change over from the long stepside. Both trucks were originally baby blue, so it was like it was meant to happen.
