The only body work I'm doing is rust repair and of course the new fire wall and floor pan, which was done to accomidate the Gen III Hemi engine and trans installation. The drive train, interior, suspension and everything else is going to be first class. I'm building this truck to be driven any ware and not have to worry about door/stone dings. This truck is going to be my daily driver.

I'm 6' 3" and 225 lbs. and just have enough room with the stock roof. 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)

I lucked out everthing lines up good. I stripped it back down to the bare frame today. Now I'll prep the dram for paint. 7617570-image.jpg (749 downloads)

Gene Thanks Gene, it's always good to get positive feed back when your in the middle of a first time project. It's going to be fun seeing the looks this truck is going to get when it passes someone on the expressway doing 80 mph. I don't like the way the front end sets. Its to high, so I ordered a set of two inch drop springs from Belltech for the front and raised the back one inch.
