Too cool for school my friend. Makes me want mine back! The color choices are great. Hope your move went well and looking forward to more original builds

[@danachick6898]

Thank you, the move is definitely going great, alot of work setting up the shop still boxes everywhere. Currently stuck in carpentry mode. I would love to get some more videos up.

Nice lookin truck dude! I like it. Had a Caribbean Tourquoise short bed 2wd in the late 90’s. Walked by the cab yesterday shaking my head about why I tore it apart to paint it 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@danachick6898]

Paint back to the original.

[@eugenebaroni1298]

That's one cool truck... Great job 👍

[@danachick6898]

@eugenebaroni1298 thanks, I really appreciate it, I had been thinking about building something like it for a few years, just happened to come across the right parts.

I bet it rides like a dream... I am building a 65 F250 4x4. on original leaf springs it's gonna ride like a chuck wagon! Cheers! subscribed.

[@danachick6898]

The coils and longer control arms help. They can make some fairly soft leafs nowadays, you might be surprised.

Good job, I had a 66 Mercury truck, same difference….well done chap!

[@danachick6898]

Nice build love it, where did you source the wheels, awesome job!! Thank you

I ment to reply back a while ago, I found the rims on marketplace a set of 4 for 60$ they were close to matching 2 one style and 2 of another. Then I saw 3 more on marketplace that matched the other 2 for 20 each only had to drive about 3 1/2 hrs. So I got the matching set sanded them real good and gave them a white base coat and clear coat. They are 16.5 x9.75. I love the old steel rims.

[@mevford]

What is that incredible color?

[@danachick6898]

Toyota olive 637

[@darkdesertgoose2112]

Looks more like cow pie green😂 other than that color, it’s Soo nice!

[@mevford]

@@darkdesertgoose2112You’re right, Beige would be so much better 🙄

[@danachick6898]

@mevford My original plan was olive 653 which is more brown then green.

[@darkdesertgoose2112]

Who said anything about beige? Sorry to get your panties in a bunch!

[@danachick6898]

36x12.5r16.5 Goodyear wrangler, old HMMWV tires that seem to be in remarkable condition considering they would have to be around 15 years old!!
