I’m not sure if I ever posted pics of this or not. It’s a 70’s era Chevy truck body on the Orange Blossom Special chassis. I used two rear axles and flipped one for the front. 
I modified the trailer to fit the truck to it. Stretched it to fit the weight rack etc...

Finished this a few years ago!

Very cool! 

Reminds me of all the fun I had going to the truck and tractor pull events at the various fairs back in Ohio where I grew up.

Looks wicked to me, I like what I see.  By chance do you have any pictures of the chassis?

Other than what I have here I don’t. I don’t have any pics with the body off..

Cool, another Classic era Chevy pickup build.  Cool subject, appreciate all the effort you spent to create this.  Is there a sled in the future?

Exactly what I used... just mounted another rear axle on the springs and put in a transfer case and extra drive shaft and walla!!

Not sure on a sled.. although that could be hitched to a rig so I won’t say never! Just very very far off if I did. Too many projects going on..
