i bought this from a guy that needed to get it outta his yard and now i'm turning it into my dd while my full size is getting worked on. the guy put new rockers and cab corners on it and "tried" to shave the fenders.

s o i had to take them back down to metal and start over. also the truck sat for 10 years so i wondered if the motor was even gonna run...welp low and behold put some new points in her and a coil and she purrs like a kitten. i heard these 250's were troopers but damn. ok enough talk here are some of the progress pics.
when i got it.

"shaved" the firewall lol. just temporary
