Well not really. I did start laying out the cut lines for the bed so that i can start the process of cutting it down. I will probably start working on it as soon as it starts warming up. I am also going to get some 5" drop springs for the back. That's really about it right now. When i start cutting i promise i will get some photos up.

I know its been a while!

So I finally had some time today to start working on the truck again. A few weeks ago I ordered some 5" drop springs for the back. So I decided to get started installing them today. I got the rear end in and some wheels on it. It looked nice so I decided to put the bed on it so that I could have more room to cut it down. So after putting the bed on by myself, I decided that it looked too good to stop working on it. So I got my welder all set up so for the sheet metal. Then I braced it up with some angle iron. I started to cut one cut but it was late so it will have to wait. So what do you guys think of the ride height?

got some work done today!

So today I cut the front section out of my bed and started welding it back together. It took a little more adjusting than most guys make it seem like is needed. I also ran into a lot of body filler. I think its quite substantial. I am going to have to use a piece of the other side of the panel that I cut off today. either that or I straighten it as best as I can. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.

So yesterday I worked a little on the truck. Mostly welding and trying to get that large dent out of the side of the bed. Man I need some more patience, It takes some time to make it look good. It also has some heavy sheet metal. I am surprised that these things ever rust through. I also worked on the seem inside the bed a little straightening it up. Well here are some pictures. Enjoy, and feel free to comment.

Before and after and i don't think i am done.

The pics before don't really do it justice. It was pretty pushed in. I also had to weld pound cut to relieve stress and then re-weld to make it look like this

So i got a used fender today. looks like its from a custom sport truck. Maybe its not, who knows. All I know is that its a lot straighter than the one on my truck. It has a little filler on it and some dents but nothing that i can't fix. Anyway I am hoping that I will be able to get some more work done this weekend. So I will post more then.

Finally got some work done!
Cut the last 8 inches out of the bed. So this is a short bed now, and man is it short. its the stock size, i am just not use to it. I still have to trim and fit but you get the idea.

Subscribed. I stayed at the same hotel as you for the cruise in a few years ago. I love the orange truck, super clean. Will this Truck be at any cruise nights this summer?

Glad to have you but I never went to a cruise or stayed in a hotel. I think you may have me mixed up with someone else. sorry. This truck wont be done for a while due to a meager budget.

I did have this truck at the one man band diner in Spanish Fork for the last show of the year last year before i started tearing it down.

that orange 54 Chevy isn't mine. I liked it a lot and i took a pic of it.

PS where are the cruise nights here in Utah?

thanks for looking

Re: 67 C20 LB Conversion to C10 SB Fleet.
 
Got it, I thought the 54 was yours. There are a lot of cruise nights in Utah. Here is a link that outlines the show every month.
