It looks good! Is there a stock motor and trannie in there? It looks like a
project that someone else started and never finished. Are you going stock or
custom? There is a lot of help here on this site whatever way you go. ...Terry

Well. if you are like me, you need to get it driveable as soon as possible, so you don't lose interest, i.e. glass, tires, possible drivetrain. But if you have alot of patience & time, ( unlike me ) This truck could be a major head-turner the first time you drive it. Either way, it is definetly worth the effort.

Now see, why couldn't my parents have bought me that 65 Chevelle as my first car, instead of a 96 Grand Am? Oh well...
I know there are a lot of people on here who are more experienced and helpful than I am, but I will agree with Wademo that you should work on getting it driveable so you don't lose interest, and just take your time with it. There are a list of places to get parts, but I'll let someone else list some of those sites, because the first thing that pops into my head is Mid Fifty, and I doubt that'd help you...Good luck!
Oh, and the truck looks great. Definitely a lot better than the 67 Fairlane I'm trying to restore.

If you decide to replace the flathead engine, please, PLEASE! sell or give the engine
to someone who can use it. Don't recycle it into a Toyota, don't let it die. ...Terry
