From CG's to Mine
Well a couple of months ago CG and I made a deal of me trading my 41 Caddy for his 71 4x4 1/2 ton.
I knew that the truck was going to need some repairs and what was needed was very little. Fixed some leaks in the power steering, rebuilt the transmission and put new bearings in the front and rear axles just because I wanted it reliable not that it need them. Then off to the body shop for a quick repair. Nothing major just new rockers, kick panels and some minor dings and small dents. Well five weeks later I brought her home. I think the oh bye the ways got out of hand on my part. But it did turn out great. Now all I need to do is put in the floor mat, hook up the heater cables, and install the sun visors. Pictures below: 1. Leaving CG's with the truck 2. Almost down to the frame rebuild 3. Reassembly 4. More assembly 5. Finally done and home.
