Patina'd Offroad 64'
Howdy All!
Let me start this by saying YES i am for real doing this lol. The idea behind this Build turn around Started with a buddy of mine. We both wanted to build a HD offroad rig that we could take camping and have fun with as well, A Take anywhere Truck if you will. i have decided to make our dream Rig a reality with my 1964' Big window " Christine". We tend to go camping ALOT and find ourselves with a suburban or gmc sierra pending the destination. So the general plan is to Build a HD single cab Pickup ,Suspension upgrade, Drive train Upgrade, and the capability of hauling our gear. We're going to keep the body Original cause of the patina and the character. But we may swap to a stepside bed in the future pending finding one, Which would cancel the inbed camper. Plans: -Extended Custom Porterbilt Control arms -4 wheel disk conversion -5.3/4l80e - 33's -Body/Suspension lift -Coilovers -Cage -Custom Offroad tube bumpers -Axle Upgrade -Chassis re-enforcing Plans will change as time progresses, so please bare with us haha. Truck as of Right now!
