to be honest my uncle made the bed( still no bottom floor in the bed) and then got some fenders for it im not sure of all of it yet until i can really get good looks at it all and make it all out

my uncle is a real handy man with a welder/torches and some metal so i am sure nothing is original he told me on the drivers fender he took three fenders and made one and there is a gas tank that he made and mounted in the rear between the frame i will also have to look and see how usable that is but the one behind the seat is gone

and i will check the usability of the fenders and such as well the drive shaft is out right now he was just moving it around by using 4x4 front but he has not worked on it or started it in about 3 years since he lost interest to soem jeeps he is now building

here is pic of the drivers fender like i said he is pretty handy to make the one out of three and u cant even tell or at least i cant lol also of the box again but on thur after work im gonna get a lot of pics

the truck is at my cousins house right now the guy who was bringing it charged me 250.00 and wanted more to bring rest of way so i told him to piss off drop it there and i will get cause its only 1 hour away now instead of 4 plus

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-22-2010, 02:27 PM

Very cool. That stinks the guy didn't bring it all the way for you.

JimmyFloyd · 06-22-2010, 02:35 PM

Dude, i know that 99 percent of the general public would look at that truck and say "what a piece of junk"
but we see POSSIBILITIES! I look at that truck and i say " i know exactly where i want to start with this truck. What kind of motor i wannna drop in it (or rebuild this one),what color i wanna paint it", etc.
good luck and nice buy 1970shtortbed!
