Well, actually the frame is on a stand that rolls, but it's painted. I bought my great grandad's 68 long bed 250 6cyl. from my grandad when I was 14. I couldn't even change the oil. 2 years later I had the coolest ride in school and in 15 years I've never paid a mechanic for anything. Dad didn't let me take any shortcuts, but he wouldn't let me have a V8, a very wise move indeed. The truck saw 7 years of daily driver use before it had to be parked for another 7. But now pops and I are back at it. Only this time, I'm growed up enough for a radicaly built 350. I'm going to make a CST clone, Red with white roof and grill, and black interior. I'm thinking 3 and 2 drop with a disc brake setup and swaybar up front. Thanks for all the information and ideas I've been getting from the site and I'll be cruising out there with yall soon.
