Hello
I have been tossing around this in my mind for weeks. I am going to build one. Sona little background 53 with 2 teen girls single dad so broke. Now that being said I owned a cab company and was magic at taking a $500 car and turning it into a cab that will run for 500,000 miles.
So reading up and trying to figure out best way. I miss my box chevys so i want old school 350 with 350 trans. Figure maybe older pick up would be a good donor. I want to build something to drive not a trailer queen. Just clean simple and dependable. Welding is no problem nor is any paint or bodywork. Worked on enough cars and boats so engine glass work etc doesn't phase me but high dollar items do.
So what advice i need is basically what way to go about it. I haven't seen one yet i don't like. So i guess what body and chassis design is affordable and proven would be the first step.
