My 72 Jimmy Frame Up Rebuild

I bought this back in July on a whim and really with no idea what I was getting into. Of course what I thought would be some simple body work quickly turned into a complete restoration. The further I got into it, the more I decided I wanted to completely rebuild the truck. I am no mechanic or body man but I am in the auto salvage business so luckily have access to lifts, equipment, good tools, etc and a couple employees with experience in body work and restorations. I have to give the credit to them for the work. I like to help where I can but mostly stand around drinking beer and probably slow them down.

We made a lot of progress tearing down the truck pretty quickly but then it sat for a couple months when work got too busy. We just started back on it this week and are working putting the floor pans, rockers and pillars back together. The tub is off the frame and the frame has been sandblasted and primed. The 350 ran but needed some work so we are going to rebuild it.
Here are a few pics from when I first bought the truck. I have more pics at work and will upload as I go.
