Well, it's hard to believe that less than a month ago, my truck was complete! It's been so pretty today, that I decided to go to my dads' garage and do some more work on it! Got the engine/tranny out 2 weeks ago. Got the cab off today, finally, and got it loaded on the trailer, so I can take it to my welder friend next week. I need lots of sheet metal for it...

Also, started to clean up the frame; removed brake lines, front/rear bumpers, gas lines, shocks, parking brake cables, master cylinder/clutch/brake assembly and the running boards. I will get some more pics on my site tomorrow night, so all can enjoy! Now, it's gonna be a slow go from here on for the next few years... I will start a ground up resto/rod. First, my rear leaves are bad, need new or good used ones? Then, new brake lines and brake components and so on. Hopefully, I can get something new every month, even if I'm in as much debt as I am

Will keep everyone posted and check out my pics.

Wow! You have been busy. I just looked through all of your photos. You're definitely getting some stuff ripped out.
I was a nice day here too. I spent the day working on mine as well. I'm going to update my site this evening with the new progress. I've got the same issue with money...snake a little out of the budget here and there!
