Progress is slow...weather hasn't been on my side. Now the weather is nice and I'm sick as a dog (103 temp last night). 
In time things will happen....just gotta keep telling myself that.

Okay, I guess I'm looking for a parts truck again. Had one lined up when I started this thread but can't seem to get in touch with the guy anymore.
So, I'm looking for a shortbed slick to use for parts. Cab mounts, floors, hood and roof can be trash but need everything else to be usable.
Hoping to find a complete truck...anyone?
I'm gonna post this over in the wanted section as well.

Looks promising. Probably 4 hours plus but that's pretty much what I'm looking for...better if it was a 66 but I'm not gonna be too picky at this point!

Looks a fairly tough Trailer Park where the owner lives!, plenty of bits to be had on her! 
or save her!

Haha. Actually this was part of a "collection" up for auction as the owner had recently deceased. I'm sure someday I'll leave behind a "collection" as well.Alan Mclennan wrote:Looks a fairly tough Trailer Park where the owner lives!
I'm gonna strip off what is left and donate it to my crewcab. Gotta get this thing going, lack of parts = lack of progress.

Finally dragged the parts truck home...what a weekend that turned out to be.
I wish I had a video of these two guys dragging this thing bouncing down a hill in a field and slinging mud all over the place. It was the funniest sh!t I've seen in a long time and I could swear I heard banjos playing the whole time.
Made a little progress tearing parts off today. Rusty bolts = slow progress.

Okay, parts truck is stripped and gone. Got a decent front clip and some patch panels off of it.
I kept the 9 inch rear and leaf springs with shackles out of it.
I was planning on using an explorer rear with disc brakes and a bar suspension setup...what do you all think?
I'll post a poll on this in truck talk.

Update:
Got a short bed (finally). Bed floor is pretty bad at the front.
Hurt my back and was down and out for a while.
Went to look at a 79 F150 longbed supercab ranger as I decided it would be a better frame for my crew.
The 79 looked to good to part out so I gave the man his asking price ($350) and drove it home
The 79 is now my main truck for the time being...I should post pics.

Got a crazy idea to see what a crew would look like as a 60's SUV or suburban. Started with a photoshop that has quickly progressed into something that looks pretty cool...good discussion thread here:

Had to rebuild my cab dolly to accomodate the frame and bed for now. Needed to be able to roll it out of the way so a little "dentside madness" could happen.
The red one is my brother in law's truck....rusty!
The blue one is the one I scored (stole) not too long ago.
Nose to Nose:
My driveway currently has a bunch of good old ford stell in it!
My Boy is already interested in driving old ford trucks!

You still going with the way too cool Slixpedition?

Really not sure...the crew kinda got pushed aside with all the focus being on the dented trucks right now. I am getting ready to clear up some garage space for the crew though so it can finally see some dry storage.
