Well jr's decided that he wants to build an early 50's chevy truck...Rat Rod Style[cl....so he's been searching for a canidate for his build....we put alot of feelers out there and found a truck around Prince Albert that looked like it would fit the build....it's a five window,basically complete with box and endgate and was realitively cheap $250...good buy I thought even with the $150 gas bill to go get it and I got to spend a day with my son and he even bought me lunch....he has been talking about this for awhile and has plans to put a s10 chassis under it with a 350/350 combo cause he has one laying around...plans are to slam it into the weeds,painted smothies,mexican blanket interior and retain as much as the original patina on the body as possible...his goal is to keep the build cost around $2500[S...possibly...he already has a motor...m word and tranny and has a line on an s10 for cheap....anyone build one of these with this setup and know the does and dont's.....We went to Prince Albert today and picked it up....Roads were wet with lots of salt and made a mess of everything so once we got back we washed all the salt off of it as well as the 40 yr's of dirt that was on it....I'll keep you posted as progress continues....lookin forward to workin with jr.
