Awesome work, Drew. The fact that is was a family project makes it even better. Now bring it to me so I can haul scrap metal with it.

68 TT · 06-11-2012, 04:31 PM

It gets better mileage than my 03 Tahoe does at the same speed. I only see 17 at 70mph.

We are bringing our trucks up there.

Sounds fun, but no dice. My son is coming home from a month long mission trip to Africa that Saturday.

Just curious,... because some members are having issues with simple lwb to swb frame swaps.

that reminds me of the johnny cash song. he would sing it it like it is a 1972,1970,1971,2002,2004,2005,2003 year model!!!!!!!!!

real good question 468, answer will be interesting not only from a personal property tax but insurance also

We don't have personal property tax on cars or their restored value, only a sales tax on the original purchase collected when you register it and buy tags. I have it insured for a lot for very little dough.

Allenconstruction · 06-18-2012, 04:22 AM

Ok, but what year is it titled as '72 or '02??

To be Old or New, that is the question.

By the way Drew, haven't commented in a while but have been following religiously!

Absolutely Incredible!!!!

I'm sure he has it titled to whatever the door plate has on it. If MPD does a spot check on his plate and has it show up in thier system as a 2002 when its obviously an older truck thats going to give him a lot of hassle and explaining to do! .

We only care about the body year. You could have a model t sitting on a ranger frame, but you're not going to title it as a 2010?!

drewskiren · 06-18-2012, 04:27 PM

Right!

It is a 1972 vin plate attached to the door jamb just like it is supposed to be. Looks like a 72, registered as a 72. No one would know any different - unless they drove it!

I have lots of little items to redo or finish up correctly, but right now I am concentrating on our house.

Your house looks awesome! Here in Ia, if you build a wrecked vehicle, the state must come out or you take it in and have it inspected. Usually when they issue you a new VIN, it'll be for the current year. Not the year of manufacture. That happened to a friend of mine's Dad. He built a 84 crew cab and used a 74 frame. He wanted to be legit and they nailed him with a 08 model year truck. So now his plates and insurance were priced as a 08 truck. He sold it 2 years after he got it drivable.

Wow that stinks!

When you are done with yours, come move in with me for a few months - if you know what I mean.

I love the house drew!

VA72C10 · 06-18-2012, 11:09 PM

so just a off topic question, did you have the plans for your house specifically drawn or is it from a specific builder and design code? (engineering student) I would love to see that floor-plan, now that we all have seen your back seat of your awesome truck :P

Low Elco · 06-21-2012, 07:01 AM

Can't wait to see Frankie lookin swanky in that driveway! You getting some work out of him?

I was an architect major for a while in college, and I came up with the plan myself.

Mainly I studied this Craftsman style for several years vacations to California and many, many books on the subject.

Take a part here, combine with another piece, and on and on until it looks good. The ability to get it looking good is a gift from God. Scale, proportion, an aesthetic eye, -critical pieces of the puzzle all of which I have, not really of my own doing. I only practice with my given tools.

TennesseeZ · 06-22-2012, 07:41 PM

Drew, do you have any plans to bring Frankie east? I'm sure there are plenty of others like me who would love to see it!
