mylow53 build

well i've been reading all your guys post and decided i should start my own blog for the 53 i'm building. I bought this truck for $325 dollars, it was green and rust. there was a hole in the rear fender the size of a bowling ball. the headliner would hit your head, none of the gagues worked. well that was 1983 since then its been used and abused by yours truly. i fully rebuilt the 6 cyl in 1984 and it ran for 20 years. since i've owned it i've painted it 3 times flat black with rattle can flames, metal flake blue and then bright red. i will try to dig up the old phots for you guys. in the last cupple of months i've been trying to get this back in shape. i've removed the reliable 6 cyl and gave it to the junkyard. i tryed to find some one who wanted it but no one replyed to the ad. anyways long story short I have the truck in simivally at Da' Rod shop http://www.darodshop.com/ bobby is awsome he really knows his stuff. he's installed the mustang 2 frount end. we are working on the rear now and we need to decide what 4 link to install. if you look at the photos of the frount end the shocks aren't part of the airbag. i like being able to swap out the shocks with out losing the air bags any ideas....
