1979 Camper Special Dually Flatbed

[bagged81]

This truck belonged to my uncle since the mid-2000's maybe, but he abandoned it around 2008 and it's been sitting ever since at his sister's house (my aunt). I planted the bug several years back that I wanted it. She called me one day and said I could have it! Unfortunately, it was not taken very good care of when it was running and driving OR when it was abandoned. There are two bullet holes in the windshield and one in the front of the hood. So it needs glass, haha.

I am sucker for projects and have been really trying not to take on EVERYTHING I find, BUT that has not worked too good. I have been putting off messing with it too much trying to buy time to convince my wife that the dually NEEDS us and we NEED it! Also, I don't want her thinking I'm taking on another project. My plan is to rescue it and make a good, solid work truck. I'd like it to pull a gooseneck for my A model JD one day. It's not going to be a show truck so I'm not worried about the body rust right now. I'll probably just spray paint over it anyway. Other than that, I really don't have specific plans for it. My dad and brother were trying to convince me to swap a better cab but I'm not up for that much work...yet.
