It's been in the works for a little while now, but we finally got it on the ground this past weekend. A 1963 chevy fleetside pick up. It started out as a rear suspension fix. We all know how these projects end up though. We ended up scratch building a hole new chassis for it. We designed a custom rear shock set-up so I could mount them parallel to the frame and a set of highly modified rear trailing arms. The front suspension is a combo of Bent and a big help from Roger at Iron works. We still need to finish up the chassis but you get the idea on how some of the cross members will look. The pics w/ the bottle jacks show where it will be at ride hight. It will also have an ls-1 for power and a few other goodies. Hope you guys like it ?

Very nice!!! I love trucks. They are not the same old 69 camaro (and I have a 69 Camaro).

Very nice framework. Love the trailing arms.

Very well done. I like the thought and work that went into the rear setup. I love things that are mechanical and are functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. I am really wanting one of these for a "parts chaser" and running down to home depot truck.

Wow -- that about says it all!

I can see that Bent and IW is a lethal combo!!

I love it! It's always nice seeing a truck getting built like this.
