I feel your pain. Next week I am going back home and one of my missions is to find my Grandfathers 46 panel that one of my brothers started restoring (basically took it apart at a "friends" house years ago) and lost interest. I was offered the truck in the early 90's but felt it was too far gone for my skill level. Now I think it would be a piece of cake, just lots of work. I just hope his druggy friends haven't sold or stolen to many of the parts, I still remember riding to the lumber yard with the original Orrie as a kid in the 50's.
