I'd have to sand it down to find the gold lacquer paint to make sure but I think the left front fender is the only original part left of the truck as it was when I bought it in March 1973. Everything else has been changed or is getting changed this time around .

This go the frame is out of a long bed half ton GMC as I am stretching the wheelbase but want to keep a 1/2 ton frame.
Front suspension is going to be industrial chassis crossmember and Dodge Dakota pieces. Rear most ;likely will be a nine inch Ford with the rear springs off the Dakota as the Dakota has a tiny rear axle.
Engine 68 Chev 292, Trans is the AX 15 trans out of the Dakota with a Novak adaper. I haven't checked the width of the seat but the Dakota may donate that too. 200 worth of donor truck going a long ways.
Stretched cab is a mix match of cabs I have collected over the years, Bed has been on the truck before but isn't the beat up one it originally came with in 1973.
Steering wheel is out of a 53 Belair Air, Dash is the original one that was in my 51 Merc coupe that I bought when I was 16 with a gauge change and hidden sound system. Steel wheels with either 55 Packard Clipper or 57 Buick hubcaps depending on how I feel that day.

 

these laundry lists are simply amazing !

 

I do not know if I would say my 55 sunliner has a polluted gene pool since its all Ford but different years but my 37 Chevy has a Ford 8 inch and 70s F150 master cylinder and maybe a Ford Y block.

 

Mine? The bastard daughter of a 100 scoundrels.
