Exaclty what I'm going to use on my 65' Continental. I've got pretty much the same idea you have, bag it, and drop it to the ground.

Looking good! You've got some serious work into that.

this should make a few of you cringe

my 08-2010 bed with 125+ 3/8" holes in it

drilled put the spot weld on the front 3/4 of the bed tonight getting ready to section the bed floor to make it shallower

This build is fuggin sick. Glad to see someone stepping outside of the box. Are you shortening the bed at all?

Glad to see you made it over here and brought the build thread with you. Love where you are going with the truck, and I must admit its a small detail but the biggest part I am looking forward to seeing finished is the loadstar dash. I know its a long ways off but any idea on what else you will be doing to the interior? Maybe continuing with the loadstar theme?


Also just thought of it, but any chance you might be able to have the truck all together to bring to Englishtown in September? I would love to get a chance to see the truck in person.

Should I keep the hope alive? I know you will be at rre anyways... But it would be more fun to see that thing go down the track

i wish i could say yes but i had to pic to finish the truck and not afford rre or make rre with out the truck

Have Petey bring you down

 

[rat49f6]

It was a thought but ive always told my self that trucks u build don't get trailered to events... So I'll deal with not having it there and wishing it was running the entire time

What kind of ride is it going to be with the way your doing this setup? Smooth?
