Finally Pics

[71jimmy]

Well Folks, after being on this board almost a year I finally got some pics to show. I bought her 3 years ago for a grand. Had her towed home and put in my garage. I had to finish landscaping my backyard, to make the wife happy, so I have only done a few things so far, and I'm really slow too. Fortunately she's not my daily driver, I just play around with her when time permits. First, I got her running, new fuel pump, battery, plugs, points, 4 row radiator etc. She runs but leaks, I'll be rebuilding the motor soon. Complete brake job, rotors, calibers, drums, pads, shoes, cylinders etc. Also repaired the e-brake, some cables were missing etc. Took dash apart and cleaned, sanded underneath to get surface rust off etc. Installed new gas tank, body mounts, new tail gate and started removing paint, rust from bed and priming. Then I'll do the rockers etc. Just got a welder, so I need to learn to use it. Spending alot of time/money just collecting all the little things. There's more, but hey, I'm getting old and can't remember right now. The plan is just to go through her completely and fix/replace everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, then drive her for awhile. Then I'll make a decision wether to do a complete frame off or just to beat her back into a pile.

Thanks to all on this board for the many ideas, suggestions, parts and most of all inspiration by showing/sharing your rides.
