Finally after 1 1/2 years of working day and night I was able to drive my truck. Man I must have been grinning from ear to ear! I was getting thumbs up from everybody going down the highway. There is nothing more rewarding than driving your fruits of labor. We still got a few bugs to work out, but it is ready! This website has helped me out in so many ways and I wanna say Thanks to everyone! I will get some updated pics up soon.

No, It is not body dropped. As a matter of fact the frame is a foot off the ground. It lays out on the front mustang II crossmember and the running board brackets.

What a feeling! Have you stopped grinning yet?


Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

I'll feel like that in about 2 weks when the "new" '60 gets here from Oregon. I want so badly to restore my first '60 but I would have to strip it down again and my hearts not in it.

1SIK52,

I looked at the last picture in your shop. There was a red fin in it. See if this looks similar.

My truck is a 51 though.
