1980 short box

Hey i am a new member to this form, so i figured i would post up my build thread and some history on my 80 chevy.

trucks history-

this truck has been in my famley for about 5 years now. my dad bought it for my brother as a birthday gift for his 16th birthday. so he drove it for about 1 years then he bought a newer truck.

so after my brother bought his new truck he gave the truck to my dad. so for the last 2 years it has sat in my backyard doing nothing. my old man thought about selling it one day but it never happed, so one day me and my old man decided to start to rebuild it.

so me my dad and my grandpa got right to rebuiding it. i have been i love with cars and trucks my whole life and saving to do a build like this my whole life.

Build-
.

so we puled the truck around into the garage and started riping it apart.





so after we had the motor out one day my uncle came buy and did some body work. he got quite a bit done.



my grandpa and i decided to put a lowering kit on it. so he came over we riped of the box and stared to put in the 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and the shackles.

figured i would paint up the rear end well we had the box off so hear is pics of the truck with the shackes and 1 leaf spring token out.




after that we instaled the spindels.
