All new suspension parts, brakes, etc. Found a '70 rear axle (wider but still six lug) and rebuilt it. Lowered about 2" in front and 3" in the back. Going to leave the patina but one day paint the medium blue you see on the firewall. I am just glad it is back together and am having a ball driving it. The bed floor and interior is next. You did a great job on your truck!

Boerne is a small town suburb of San Antonio that is starting to grow exponentially. I do not know Allen Duennenberg but here is where it gets weird. I bought the truck from the estate of Harvey Duennenberg. I do not know if there is any relation or not but probably so somewhere.
thank you very much for the compliment. i want to putz around with this little 6 for a while then possibly upgrade to your setup in the future. these little pickups are blast!! i've learned a lot!! i wish i had read and studied in school as much as i've read and studied this forum and these pickups hahahaha

keep posting as you do stuff!! be safe brother
