62 One Ton 4x4

[62-One-Ton]

Well I thought I'd start a build thread to keep track of progress on my truck. And I think the plan for this build will be good info for others wanting to do the same thing. The plan is to basically do a body swap of my 62 cab and front clip onto a newer chassis. Ill be keeping it a small block. Possibly a 383 stroker if funds allow. Ill be using an auto trans a built th350 or th400. Axles are a D70 HD out of an 86 Dodge D600. And the front axle is a D60 Dually out of an 80 something k30. Anyways I know everyone like pictures so heres what Ive got so far and there will be alot of progress this weekend.
This is the night I got it home.

This is as of tonight. Its up on a dolley now and the driver side is pretty well stripped and ready for some rubbing. "New" fender old one has a patch in it that was rivited in and filled over.

Ill have a new driver door this weekend and I'll get the passenger side all ready for work. "New" hood will be on this weekend also. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks.
Mike.
