Well, I was going to wait until I got some real work done, but here it goes.

Some rotten gas... It smelled so bad!!!

The plan is a stock floor body drop on 18's. New paint, shave some stuff, and roll it low every were it goes. I'll be running the stock wheels until I can get some billets for it.

 

Picked the truck up four years ago for $425. The odometer says 48000, and the lady I bought it from said that it has not rolled and that it set in a field for about 20 years. The floor boards are rusted out, but the body is in really good shape. It ran good a couple years ago before I parked it. I'll keep this post updated as I do work on it.

Good luck, it's a long road you're about to venture down. It will be full of fun times and times you will wonder why you ever started. Seems like yesterday that I started yanking the cab and bed from my beast. Looks like you've got a good platform to start with though.

 

Keep it up!

i'm with them on that paint job.keep it retro:cool:drop it about 4" with some steels,center caps and white walls.

 

I am going with a 2.5" body drop, this one is going to lay flat rocker :D

 

very nice! cant wait to see more pics! wish i was closer so you could help me with my sfbd :(

 

I can still help. All I have done is searched and searched, looked at other peoples build threads. I have also tried to read everything that Max Fish has posted or written. His thread on streetsource.com is awesome, and there is also a lot of good build threads there.

Thanks. This is my second personal mini truck build, so I know all about the love/hate relationship. You were lucky to have that fork list handy. We are pulling my cab off with about 8 fat mini truckers lifting with all there might.

 

The paint will go, but don't worry, I have a 3 toned vision that will make everyone ever forget about that paint.

on second thought, when are you dropping it? i dont ship out to afghanistan for a few months and am not working between now and then.......would you mind if i came and helped? i REALLY want to bd mine and seeing another 620 get done will i am sure help out a lot!

 

That is some dedication right there! This is going to be an all winter project. And with my new born being here next month, I'm not going to have a set schedule to work on it, I just don't think that I am going to be able to help you beyond answering questions on this post.
