Chopping up a good truck ain't my thing, but to each his own. Happy hacking.

I feel the same way. I believe very strongly that a man ought to do with his property as he pleases and that if it weren't for enthusiasts who want to modify old trucks like this one they would end up in the scrap yard, but I just can't help but feel a little sad about all the restomods.

Not to rain on your parade, tsoza; that's a really nice truck and I look forward to seeing what you'll do with it.

I have a 71 f250 camper special that is much nicer an doing with original this is going to be my cruiser. Notching the frame so it can be lowered without hitting the frame and possibly the front with z'ing stepping the frame up so it sits lower. Depends on what we end up doing things may change after we start. Body is going to be straight and not hacked
