I was wondering what to do with this old truck should I keep the dog house? Or should I scrap the dog house put a 30's grill Z the frame and shorten the bed? Any suggestions? :confused:

The little blonde is my helper for this build. I am trying to figure which way to go so I can get some of the parts together for when I return from Iraq in Dec.
For some reason it will only let me upload one picture so here is on I will post the reat later

I like'em both ways..Does that help? LOL there is at least three fenderless AD's on here that I really like..but then I really like the S-10 chassis swap and is probably what I would do if I had an AD truck..

good luck with the build, keep us informed

and Thank you for your service!!

idea

chop looks good[cl

S-1O chassis

keep the hood & fenders

shorten the bed to 6 feet

keep the patina

350 SBC/7OOR4 trans

nice aluminum slots or 5 spokes for wheels

widest blackwall tires that fit in the back fenders/ 6-8 wide blackwall tires in front

3 inch rake (for that just right stance)

4 or 5 inches off the ground for the front bumper

keep the grille

drive and enjoy



Later:cool:
 
fenderless

z the stock frame, and go fenderless. you just had to ask. best way though is the way you want.
