Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

Love it. Great looking project.

I jumped to the last page of your thread and love the color on your cab. Couple previous posts showed me the quality of the work being done. Kudos to you.

Then, I jumped back to the original post on this thread to see how long the project has been underway.

Had to chuckle when I read your original paragraph;

" Drove it about 15 white knuckle miles to get it to the house where it now sits awaiting some sort of rebuild. I'm determined to use it as a daily driver and not over restore it like my other truck. Like many 40+ year old trucks, it has lots of problems. My goal is to address the safety and reliability issues as well as the sheetmetal shortcomings. I doubt it will get anything other than a good coat of epoxy primer and I currently have no plans to convert it to discs or 5 lugs.

Not making fun of you in any way shape of form. Just had to share my 3 minute observation of the "slippery slope syndrome" . Or the "while I'm at it". It's very easy to do, actually the hardest part I find is stopping myself when I am building a driver (which is what I try to put out these days). Last "SHOW" car went away a few years ago, and glad I turned that page myself.

Anyhow, just thought you would possibly get a chuckle out of it too?

Beautiful truck. Keep at it.
