the first pics are from bringin it home from western washington where I used to live, she sat under the trees there near Eatonville for last 4 years. been sittin at my upholstery shop for about 3 months and finally got her home to the garage. First order of business was to pull the Dana 60 3/4 rear out and get the Nova rear over the springs to get her down in the dirt. Finished rearend this weekend and took springs outta the front just to get the feel. Next weekend is set up to put a Camaro Subframe under the front. Engine will be a mild 250 Chevy I-6/ 5 speed. and for the pics of the weekend of working on it

Sweet! The long ones look awesome slammed down. Kinda wanted to do that with mine, but I still haul with it. I always liked the 65 grille better. See ya got a 64 sitting there too. What's in the background there?

 

[Rat33pickmup]

59Imp, I watched that build on Slick60s forum a while ago same basic setup susp. as mine will have.


Sam_fear, in the background is a 1958 International Harvester anniversary edition ( same as Golden Jubilee) thats Olds powered, tubbed, Aspen front susp. 9" rear, 19X18.5"s Mopar steel wheels.

Thanks guys, been wanting to build this for a long time.

that truck is going to look saweeeet!

I like the mega slam on the red and black one dont make the inside of the bed overly pretty and you'd have the coolest parts chaser around

 

[cantwell.colton]

that red one would look snazzy w/ suicide doors imo.

some new pics of what the Krewl Kab look like right now, have pics of the frame clip but seems they need to be resized to make them work. I will post them and the Step notch in the rear when I get them fixed.

Way cool I like it, the inline 6 sounds good to me what are your plans for it? Multi carbs or 4 barrel? Flat red oxide primer and mirrored windows might be cool. But build it as you are and keep us posted.
Again way cool truck.

i dunno HOW i missed this--but i did......


i love it - would love to see how the clip went--i thought a camaro clip would be too narrow for a truck that big, so i'm really glad to see it work...

the right front fender and left front door are "marlin blue" which was the color of my first 66, that sure takes me back....


thanks for sharing these pics, would love to see more....
