thanks for the recommendation on sheet metal parts. I was able to get most of the front torn down tonight the slosh tubs are in surprisingly very good shape fenders ehh not so much on a positive the core support looks brand new. One question I do have is for the front of the cab where the bolt goes in for the lower fender mounting do they reproduce that part because on both sides its completely shot. on to the pics

-
Yes, the lower fender mount repair is available from any vendor.

more progress this past weekend took a couple days off work got the motor pulled and cab pulled off holy swiss cheese. Then was able to start on the frame work I picked up a set of 13" rotors and 2.5" drop spindles and did a 3" z to get the frame on the ground

[riddinlow99]

been working on the frame some more and got my new motor and trans a TBI 350 and 700R4 combo out of a 90 chevy

Been working on the rusty sheet metal for a bit now its the first time dealing with trying to install replacement pieces I think it came out very well, all the lines came out good and the doors are straight so must have done a good job on the new half skins.

[Katrina/10]

Nice work on that rust!

[riddinlow99]

been working on it slowly due to all the rust repair but I finally finished up the main floor just waiting to get my driveshaft cut down to do the trans tunnel. Also scored a Craigslist deal of the century and picked up a very good set of long box bedsides that I'm in the process of cutting down scored them for 100 for the pair.

Nice work it's looking good so far.

[riddinlow99]

finished one of the sides last night after work. sent my wife to get me these clamps they work great

[raggedjim]

Nice work.

Good luck, Rg

Been really busy at work lately. I did manage to get the bed together and bolted on have a little more tweaking to do on it but it is getting there.

[DEADMAN01]

where did you get the rear bag mounts at, i'm fixing to start on mine and them would work perfect. truck looks great by the way.

[NewType72]

Damn! Looking great with all the rust repair and bed shortening, frame has shaped up really quick too! Great work brother
