Straight off the onion farm in Vidalia GA .. I dont think this truck was used a lot. It stayed in a covered and concrete floor garage for most of its life. There wont be any repairs necessary in the air box, firewall, toe kicks, etc.

Dad and I are still working on the front end. I have a Hotchkis 1 7/8 front sway bar for it, quick ratio steering box. LS mounts, 4L80e trans cross member going in very soon. We replaced all the steering components, Inner / Outer rod ends, adjuster sleeves from Ridetech. The cab comes off next week sometime hopefully so we can finish detailing the frame, run fuel lines, brake lines and get it wrapped up.

The goal now is to get the trans cleaned up and painted, stall converter in and the engine / trans bolted back together. I'm going to sit the engine and trans over into the frame rails for good (hopefully) and start body work. The cab is going to be converted to a high hump floor for the 4L80e.

This truck wont take much work to be laser straight. It's all original rocker, cab corner, mounts and braces.

I'm going to take the cab and sheet metal for media blast and bring it all the way back up with quality primers and several coats of Marina Blue / white top and rockers. It's not a CST truck but I'm going back with all the trim and emblems from MarK.

I'm building this one to be driven. No billet wheels this time, they're just too much trouble to keep them looking nice. I may change the wheels at some point but the Ramblers look fine for now. Stay tuned.
