Yeah will need to pick up a bed when the time comes. I'll probably do the chop first then send the cab out to be blasted. Then I'll start on making a frame...will be too much work to try and use the stock one I think. Then I'll worry about the bed, motor, trans, suspension, etc.

Yup Rat Rod...but a little more polished. Want all my bodywork to be straight and clean.

Cool truck.
Geez, am I the only one that thinks the whole rat rod flat black thing is way overplayed?

Very nice bro. I have always been a fan of old trucks. I'd love to see it when it's finished.

Everyone says flat black is overdone....but I rarely actually see it at shows. I may do satin like my bike.
Only thing that may kill my 3k budget is suspension parts. I can most likely build a frame for $200 in steel. Bench seat in the junkyard can't be more than $50. Hoping to score a motor and trans for $500 or less. Just a matter of getting a front and rear suspension setup. I'm thinking maybe 4 link rear and a suicide perch in the front.

because they're rarely done well enough for shows..  ppl do flat black to hide stuff, not to make it look good. if you do eggshell or satin black it will look wonderful

Yeah I think satin is the way to go on this with red/white logo...and some traditional pinstriping.
