Done for Now!
The Story: Sold the '70 Corvette that I had for 17 years in December 2013. Took about a week and bought this nice unmolested truck. 77k miles, original bill of sale and protecto plate. Dealer installed A/C. 402, 400 trans, power steering and front disc. First pic is day I got the truck. And the Corvette that went to Florida. Removed the bed in April last year and started the rust repair. This past Sunday I finished mounting the bed.

Re: Done for Now!
Wow nice job....very nice truck!....and a highlander to boot! Nice custom work there too on the seat console.
 The only thing I would add is the factory tilt column.....that's a great option to have and always useful. Again, very nice work!! all good Coley

Re: Done for Now!
Thanks guys. All those years I had the Corvette I would get the occasional guy that would say "Nice Car". After just a few days of driving the Truck the attention it gets from people is amazing! So fun to drive.

Re: Done for Now!
Nice!!! I work for the city and I believe I saw your truck over the winter with the bed off and it looked like the frame was done. It gave me motivation to want to restore my 68, thats for sure!

Re: Done for Now!
Got me Earnhart. After I first got the car I joined the club and got the jacket. Didn't take me long to make my escape.

Re: Done for Now!
Damn, I forgot all about that swap meet with being as busy as I have been. What was he asking for them? I would like to start collecting NOS/ excellent used trim for it when the time comes.

Re: Done for Now!
$50 a piece for the extensions and $250 for the hood piece. There was a lot of truck parts. I went to a bunch of meets last year and didn't see much, but there was a bunch there. Wahoo swap meet in April.
