The motor runs, it just needs some refreshing. Ill be going with a new 12v harness. Ill be bagging it with S10 Spindles and rear-end. Ill be building all the link bars, control arms, and x-members. As you can see, the floor will need replaced, but no big deal. Of course ill be changing all the brake components. Im leaving the body as is and adding white walls with either astro supremes or steelies. Its been in my family since new, and has 43,000 original miles. Thanks for having me.

Thanks guys. Well, im 22, about to be married, and my fiance has 3 girls. We live in a very small quite town in Arkansas. This is where im originally from, but have been living in Garland, Tx for almost 3 years before we moved here. I previously went to Wyotech in Wyoming for 1 year and three months. Ive been a fabricator for almost 6 years. Im classified as a mini-trucker, but hot-rodding is where my roots are planted. I love working with metal. Ive had several trucks on air ride, and my 49 has been under wraps since 1991 when the brakes went bad. And now im finally prepared to start putting my spin on it. Heck, i may end up under a full custom chassis, but im trying real hard to keep it simple. Im pretty much a normal guy, rockin dickies with my chucks.
