lucy the 1950 shoptruck

well i named her lucy because when i bought it everything was loose on it and she just looks like a lucy. nothing crazy here just a 79 camaro from clip and 2 link rear (dont give any lip on 2 link being bad i know but handling is not a big issue and this is being built from other build leftovers) with a backhalf job. will lay the running boards with pretty stock body maybe a chop dont know yet. just a basic 350 and 5spd tranny.
 





i have bagged the front and built the rear frame since the pics but since my camara decided to commit suicide and dive off the table it will be a day or two befor the other pics

welp got a lil work done but progress is slow considering i only got about 4 nights on it in the last 2 weeks but here ya go. built the rear clip and the trailing arms suspetion. this truck will not get a ton of lift so pinion change and off centering is not much at all. trailing ars are 4-5 feet long and the panhard parr is 40 in so everything is long and it all is leval at ride heights so it should ride and handle like a dream. and i boxed the frame and bagged the front..    

this is not going to be some crazzy suspention with rod ends and super balls all over it just a nice simple good working truck. the theme is to keep it simple. the suspetion is built to just work and handle well and while keeping a full 3in exhoust out the rear all tanks and compressors under the beed and and a decently deep bed. the body will have the lower 2in cut off and lowered down to the running boards and a nice 3in chop. nothing crazy.

any updates?
