VA. 68 shortbed
Love these trucks but never attempted this large a project. Truck has been sitting for 10 or 12 years but the bed tailgate hood and trim were all left inside the shop. Will be a slow go but we'll see. I've really enjoyed just tearing it down, that I can do.

Re: VA. 68 shortbed
Don't seem like alot of progress but I have got the frame about ready to take and have sandblasted. Found some more rust in the cab , around the windshield only in the passenger side corner. How hard is that going to be to fix?
