Nice! I love these old trucks...and I'm always excited when I see a "truck" going down the PT route. One of my relatives had a Suburban of a similar vintage when I was a kid that was fully restored and I've been thinking about building one ever since. Looking forward to watching this build!

The truck was disassembled and all were patterns taken off the original frame to begin the new chassis design process. Once we had the original frame rails scanned and in the computer we then manipulated the kick ups and shape of the rails to get the desired ride height.



Cool shot of the frame rails being built.


Completed frame rails fixtured in a jig and chassis construction underway.
