got this around middle of last week. going to use it as a little project while im in recovery waiting to start work and to have to piddle around with during the summer. just a basic 2wd truck with straight six/manual trans. best thing is its not a granny gear truck so it has the 5lug wheel pattern instead of 8lug. only plans for the body are to straighten out all major dents to not make it look so bad and scotch-brite the the exterior and clear over to keep the patina look. for drivetrain ill be keeping it 6cyl for now until im tired of the rat rod scene then it may go to a 4.6/5.0 motor if i decide to go full restore (doubt thatll happen though). for the drop ill be doing the same as i did for the 33' Plymouth basic body drop. unsure of how low ill be going but may just do a 6-7" drop. good thing is these have a factory body-over frame set up so itll help give me a guideline on the cab to make my cuts. for wheels ill just be slapping on some black steel wheels but will be going +2" which will put it at a 17" and will be going 8" front with 10" back.. on to some pics of what im starting with.
