Well lets start at the begining. Traded bad chop job cab for a shotgun, bought 53 chevy frame 400.00, Bought and drove home a donor 93 chevy truck 600.00, now just the hard part rebuild. I started on frame Its underslung rear with leafs flipped and repacked kinda stiff but hey its a rat. put the 93 rearend on it made some rocker panels out of 2x2 square tubing, have front end ideas but waiting on my buddy to weld some mounts for me I dont trust mine yet. Its going to be a quarter elliptical setup coming out the frame rails. Have the 5.7 and OD transmission waiting for a home. I have been sick and extremeyl busy so not much time for the truck. I will have some better pics up today I hope.

Any constructive critism will be appriecated this is my first build in my driveway and need all the help I can get.

but saved it from crusher thats all that counts.
