I really really want to buy an old truck and make it kind of "hotrod" looking. I'd like to see everyone's trucks and see what kind of cool custom looks there are.

I am assuming you are asking me. Body wise it is pretty complete and has very few dents,which is amazing when you consider it was owned by an excavation company. Truck was last registered in Co. in 1963. The windshield was taken out, the rest of the glass was broken out. I believe the windshield and other pieces that are missing, gearshift lever,air cleaner, outside door handles, radiator were taken out and used on their tank truck of the same era. this is probably going to be my long distance pick up a trip to Alb. is a 75 mile one way run, so I want something that rides a little better that is why we are looking at using the running gear out of the T bird.ChevelleSS_LS6 said:wow, that is a nice nice body. restore it for a nice parts chaser. how complete is it?
