Well,I did start cutting it up and did get frustrated,but not at the truck,just the rust on it

Today I decided to really get going at cutting it up.I had been collecting parts for a long time and came up with a set of OE rust free doors,OE rust free fenders,rust free OE core support,a good short fleet bed,and a good tailgate.The only thing I didn't have was a good cab so the rusty one would have to do.I pulled the fenders,hood,cowl,doors off and un bolted the bed and moved it back 2 feet so I could get to the cab corners,I unbolted the cab,and lifted it up so I could put in new cab supports.While I was at it,I also removed the aux fuel tank system that was still on and under the cab since the donor cab was from a truck with aux. tanks.I removed all that stuff and threw it away,since I dont need that stuff for my trucks anyway

There is a big pile of old cab corners,and rocker panels,and old cab floor too.And in the bed of the truck is new cab corners and rocker panels,and cab floor pieces,and front and rear cab supports.Now I just have to see if I can piece it all back together...

I'd show a few pics but the camera has dead batteries and I don't have anymore.
