Me too, me too...

I'm doing a frame off restoration on my 86 C10. So far its really just a pile of parts. I'm using a 76 frame, an 86 cab, new GM fenders, Goodmark cowl induction hood, doors from a wrecking yard with power guts from another pair of wrecking yard doors, a box from yet another wrecked truck and the engine and trans from my 86 LWB that I rebuilt early in 2002.

My progress has been slow lately because I've been working on making my 87 a dependable daily driver and rebuilding the rear end of my 84. Too many trucks and not enough time and money!!!
