Re: Boppa's old yeller truck

Sunday update- Well, had kind of a good but not real productive day. Pulled the glass out of the old cab and realized we only had a few more things to pull. So we got them pulled and ran the old cab over to Neighbor Jay's dad's scrap pile. Yaay, clean side yard! Empty trailer! Now the list- glass is cleaned and prepped, seal is installed, glass guy is coming out this week, have to repaint slider frame. Front speakers are installed, antenna mount has been sorted, grille is in, bumper is on, (What a PITA! Frame horns are a mess! Thank god we bought 71 bumper brackets, they saved the day. If you ever have to hang one, get the right end brackets, bolt the center parts on hard to the bumper and loose to the frame, tighten up the end brackets so you're good and shim the center to get it right. Oy Vey.) Anyway, it looks like a truck now! Just have to get over the fear and build the doors, finish lining the bed, adjust the trans and do the interior. Here's some pics-
