I bought a clapped out farm truck that had a lot of potential, check out how much better it looks after a little bit of work.

That was my original plan actually. It ended up being way more cost effective once I found the 12 bolt and the squarebody front subframe for way cheaper than a front disc conversion kit and a posi unit for the eaton rear end. I was planning on steelies and fat tires either way though, it's my favorite look. Thanks for watching!

@theaveragebear78734 ай бұрын
@@rowdy3837 It's coming along. I am about to get it running in the next week or two. Everything takes longer than I thought it was going to, so I decided to do it all at once. Short bed conversion, leaf spring to coils, drop spindles and lower springs 2.5/4 , changed to a 12 bolt rear end, disc brakes all around, hydroboost, headers and new exhaust and electric fans. Also along the way I cleaned and painted everything that I could. I was lucky that it was a truck from the desert, so there was no rust, just black widows and hornet nests in all the wrong places. Good luck with your build, I wish I had a 454 in mine, but the 350 is running strong, so I don't want to mess with it right now.

Love everything but the wheel/tire setup.. in my opinion, these old trucks look better slammed, but not too low…like 5” off ground, but certainly not lifted or w/ mud tires…but I respect your vision!!
@DoubleArrow11 ай бұрын
I agree in certain respects. I think the short beds look good low with the right wheels/tires, but the long beds look terrible lowered or with too small of tires. I used to have a '72 4x4 long bed that looked awesome lifted and on 35" tires, but the 2wd long bed is tough to get the look right. I like the way I have this one setup, but I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for watching!

Comet and a scotchbrite pad. It didn't turn the rust black, but scrubbed off the top oxidized layer exposing that black primer underneath. This trick only works on old single stage paint, nothing with a modern clear coat
