Friends Helping Friends

[special-K]

I haven`t been able to get any measureable amount of work done on any project of my own for awhile.But,I know people who are.I love messing with these trucks and also helping people makes me happy.
I never got any real pictures of the`72 shortbed I had when I joined the board.It was a 2 option fleetside (gauges & sway bar).The plan was to part out my`71 CustomCamper rather than restore and use parts to build the shortbed.

The only pictures I took(low batteries/low light...oh well):



I bought a rolling frame from Hart Rob and decided to build off of that since non of the shortbed`s sheetmetal was going to be used anyway.So,I sold the truck (back) to my friend Eddie.He tore it down to the frame and it`s going back as a`68 with a donor truck he bought for the hyper motor and incidentals.

Here is where the build was at this fall.That`s Mike who is helping with the paint.Ted is doing the bodywork while Art and me are doing whatever when not running or mouths or tilting cans:






The cab got painted a couple weeks ago.We got the windshield and back glass in as well as the door weatherstrip yesterday.The doors are about ready after another visit from Ted.I`ll get pictures of the painted cab.I need camera batteries.
