Square body on new chassis?

[Craig 85]

Nice work. I like the old camper mounts on the front fenders. Back in the day, I had thought about buying a set of those and using them to mount some Daylighters in that location.

IFS or not, that's pretty cool.

Also, I've got those exact same ramps.

I paid 10 bucks for the ramps and a 25' log chain at an estate sale. It was a good buy.


I should have pulled the camper mounts off the bed before i scrapped it.

The IFS has never let me down. 208k and it still has the original cv shafts and lower ball joints. I've got an 8' fisher for it too. I turned the torsion bars up some.

Getting there.

Not sure why the guy doing this with the 68 cab didn't just get a stake bed the correct length for the frame he had. Would've been much easier.

Got it mostly done now. I have a few issues but I'm driving it. The paint match is about perfect, just as long as the truck is dry.

Hey! Just outta curiosity how well did the old body fit on the new frame? All mounts lined up? Thanks

That's a lot of frame and junk visible under the body...front is only about a foot too tall.
If all you need is a good frame, head south and southwest, plenty of 'em here!
