Spoke with Wyoming about the second part of our deal today.. '87 body, extra parts and a trailer.. those will be showing up in the next 30 days looks like. So, that will be another build.. OH and it's Tan/Beige.. I am gonna name it "THE GREMLIN" and make a chopped truck out of that one... always wanted to build one of those.

Chopped? Damn. That's an ambitious project, but I can't wait to see what you come up with

Chopped = this Johnny.

Pretty easy work. Then I'll bend tubing for a full bed cage with drop out tire carrier.

OH HELL NO... I chopped my '56 Ford F100 truck years ago... Loved the look and got plenty of compliments.. BUT HATED IT INSIDE!

J, nice progress on goss! That rust looks pretty nasty.. That will be cool when you build a chopped 60, I remember seeing one on pirate a while back where they cut the top all the way to the front seats and made an aluminum utility box for the back. Looked pretty awesome with a spring over and toyota diesel conversion!

Who needs a 70 series when you can chop a 60.

The build looks good.

I think I will go double cab. Just depends on what the cut lines look like when I get them drawn on the panels.

Yea definitely. My is from Rock Springs and we make it back there every once in a while. I also have a cabin that is south of Arlington on I-80. Lots of exploring and trails, where I spend most of my weekends in the summer...your welcome to stop by anytime.

Next time you are in Rock Springs let me know. Meet you at Bitter Creek for a beer. I go to Fort Collins/Loveland several times a year, I'll give you a shout the next time I'm coming through.

Yeah I saw Brett's rig at the LC Swap meeting @ Valley Hybrid. Thing of beauty and looks like a ton of fun!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

J,

What paint/primer do you use for doing the blackout...we're finally north of 70 degrees out in Seattle, going to bang mine out in the next couple of days.
