About Me

I'm 46. Found this old truck and am gonna try to make it a street rod when I'm not doing the softball thing with my daughters.

Make maps for a living in Las Vegas. Don't gamble if you can believe that and stay as far away from the "Strip" as possible.

General Vehicle Comments

Truck came from Oregon to Las Vegas. Restoration was started there but still needs alot of work. It is drivable but not on the highway at the moment.

There is some body work to be done on this thing, I will have something to work on this winter. I have visions of a two tone finish and a mild pro street look which means the bed is gonna be mini tubbed to make room for some big skins.I have a whole garage full of new stuff to make this a street rod truck. Soon I hope before Springtime, this truck will be more than just a former hay/rock hauler.

Accessories & Modifications

Projects happening NOW:

New 3 inch dropped front axle and drop shocks
Front disc brakes.
Frame boxed behind cab.
Rear 4 link ladder bar suspension.
700r4 tranny.
Mercury 8.25 rear end with 3:73 gears
New wheels and tires: Intro Titan wheels with 30x12-18 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R in the rear and 255/50-17 Nitto 555's in the front.

Gas tank removed from cab. Summit racing cell put in the rear between the frame rails.
White paint was splashed on somehow. Lots of overspray everywhere. I guess if it was perfect there would be nothing to do to it.

Vehicle Showcase

Future Plans

Install new smooth wide running boards to match 2.5 inch wider rear fenders to give those tires and rims some room.

I agree with asbuilt77. My truck originally started its life as a highway maintence (CALTRANS)for the state of California.

Ken your truck is so nice in person. I love your new fat fenders on the rear. It just gives your truck so much more attitude.

Sucks that I couldn't make it to Vegas. But a paycheck requires me to work. No work = no money for the hot rod. So I had to stay back and go to work.
