" Old Farm Truck"
I recently purchase a rolling shortbed frame from a local member. I was not real sure what I was going to name the build until I went to have the frame blasted. I had contacted a local guy who uses water and glass beads to remove paint and rust. I loaded up the bare frame and went to the shop. I decided to wait since the shop was a ways from the my house. When they started blasting the frame a smell began to cover the back area of the shop, when the blaster took a break he came over and said this frame was under an old farm truck can you smell it? So I figured that would be a great name for the build. I ordered a complete suspension kit from CPP along with a ford nine inch rear ench narrowed two inches from the factory length. I am planning on putting in a big block and doing a few mods, but the truck will look mostly stock. I bought a cab two months ago from a cali board member, I am being told it is on the way. I hope so as I have been patiently waiting
 . I hope you will follow along with me on this build

Re: " Old Farm Truck"
Not alot of progress on the build. I have her sitting back on the ground with her new shoes. I decided on Ridler 695 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 up front. I found a local guy who worked me a smoking deal on wheels and tires. Mounted the battery in the rear I am loving the billet mount. I am geeting close to having the engine built and ready to go already have my TCI 400 super street fighter ready to go in. I also have the repro bed bolted together, got to do some massaging before she will be ready.

Re: " Old Farm Truck"
What kind of truck are you building? Year? bed? I see you are pulling out all the stops and sparing no money in building this truck.

Re: " Old Farm Truck"
I am building a 68 short fleet side. I made the decision early on that this truck would be what i wanted it to be. The last two trucks I built were both fuel injected, so I am changing it up with this build. I am certainly being mindful of cost, but I figure I better not cheap out with all that HP or somethings gonna break!

Re: " Old Farm Truck"
I got a good deal on a March pulley system so I decided to change things up a bit. Tell me what you guys think? I ordered some sanderson BB8 headers they should be here this week so hopefully I can get this beast on the frame.
