Looks Like It May All Be Coming Together

[HuntinNut]

Well it will in a few years anyway

My project started a few months ago when I took a 66 Short bed in trade that came with a bunch of LMC parts to fix the usual floor problems. I took it in on trade sight unseen because I was basically getting it for free and from what I was told it had been sandblasted and was in great shape.

The guy I got it from has a big boat repair business on the lake and does bodywork so I figured he might know what he was talking about. He either has mad body skills or just dumped a bad project on me. Either way it was worth it to me for the parts.

Fast forward a few months and I've got the body stripped off the frame, found a good short fleet bed, a great cab to repair and will be picking up my front disk brake conversion in the morning. I knew stuff was coming together, but it all seemed pretty far off still until this week.

Thursday was my B-Day and my wife surprised me with a Lincoln Mig. Today I started building a cab stand, braced the trusses in my shop for a hoist to lift the cab and made a run to HF to get some body stuff. Today was just one of those days for me that make me realize there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it doesn't all have to be done in one day.

Glad to hear that the light at the end of the tunnel got a little brighter for you

Congrats. Sounds like a good gathering of stuff and now with the welder things will march on forward!
