The 64 was a freakin score. One of the most cherry untouched trucks I've ever come across @ an affordable price. It's getting the latest version of the Porterbuilt front crossmember set-up for the front (replacement c.member that utilizes stock GM C10 suspension parts). I like the simplicity of the truck arm suspensions. This one will get slightly modified (modified truck arm c.member, revised truck arm c.member pivot points, shock locations, full frame width Panhard bar). It will be on air. Out w/the 6cyl/3spd & in w/a 350/700r4.
I was going for kind of an old school look w/a nostalgic 15" wheel big/little combo but already have those 18x8 & 20x10 TT2's that were on my 74 just sitting around doing nothing. Not sure which it will end up with....
