I'm usually tearing trucks parts. This time, however, I did something different and put a truck together. I don't know what's worse, taking one apart or putting one together. My experience in taking these apart definitely helped me put this truck together. However, I still learned a few things that I would do differently in case I need to put another one together. Hardest part was aligning the bed by myself, especially since it had the SBC motor/trans laying inside the bed. I lucked out because I have a ton of extra parts available in order to complete this truck (it didn't need much) and my buddy gave me the wheels/tires (Chevy bolt pattern) for free.

This is the way I bought it several months ago.





After about two weeks of working on it for a few hours each day, this is what it looks like now. The truck is in good shape and mostly complete (missing the lower fenders and original seat, which I don't have in my parts piles).



I still have to clean it up a little, put the hood trim on and take better photos. This one will be for sale soon as I don't have any room to keep it longer.

 

Looks good!
