Bayoulee's '87 truck build up
Cool forum, thanks for adding me. This has been a slow work in progress, due more to other projects and motivation issues than tech problems.
Bought it for $400, bed was rusted and motor was locked up but cab, tranny and running gear was good. My dad had a good block, so I bought a rebuild kit and had a buddy of mine build the motor. I canned the bed and bobbed the frame behind the back hangers. Frame has some rust. Im in the process of building a flatbed for it. I just put a new set of 31 10.50's on it as well.
Im having some problems posting the early pictures of the truck, Im guessing due to the size of the file.

Realized I hadnt ever posted follow up pics. It’s still not done, but use it all the time around farm and to run to town for parys. Rebuilt 22r crapped out, so i put in a surefire crate engine. So far so good. We are currently building fence with it. i got a lot of ideas for the flatbed on here, and also The doors are normally off in warm weather. Made quick disconnect the idea for which i also got from here. Took out the bushings and added bigger brass bushings and 7/16 pins. Still have to get mudflaps on, and rub raill around bed.
