That '74 Monte is cool! I had a '75 in high school. Lots of fun in that car!
Thanks Silvor.

Seriously, I lived in a crappy old trailer house with a wood addition built on the side of it. We cut a door into the front of the addition and he rebuilt the truck in there.

The body is a 1950 Ford and the frame/running gear is a mid-70's Ford 4X4 Camper Special. He put a new crate 351CI engine in it. Because the newer truck has a longer frame he built the storage box between the cab and box so the wheels lined up with the wheel wells. This thing was like brand new when he was done. He kinda drove it for a few years but mostly just sets in his driveway. It has just over 16,000 miles on it since the complete restoration.



Nice car Dale, one of my best friends had a blue 74 Monte Carlo in HS.
Thanks Ben, and thanks for sharing more pics of your truck.
