My 69

This thing is rough! I have a lot of work to do and lately I haven't touched it. Maybe posting it here and talking about it will spur me into getting my ass out side and getting dirty. It's a 1969 Chevy SWB (which stands for short wheel base not short wide bed) stepside. The engine is a Pontiac 400.

  1. Oh damn! That is so freaking sweet! Are you looking to restore or pimp out?

    1. I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with it yet. It's not going back all original because it's already a bastard with that drivetrain. I'm thinking I may rat it out a little, Flat paint... maybe a barbed wire grill insert. I don't know.

      I restored a 71 LWB fleetside years ago and learned a lot. That one had an old-school gun rack, I need to find one of those for this.

    2. Oh, that just makes my mouth water. Damn Poppy for turning me into a tomboy grease monkey! How old school? Do you want an antique or just an "old-school"? There's a guy in Muleshoe that makes 'em to spec.

  2. Not antique, I'm not going for papaw's truck.

    I'm a cheapskate so it'll be more based on what I can dig up as far as parts go.
