Middlle of the restoration. Plus, we're blowing out the corner of our house and doing a complete kitchen remodel. Something to have as a response to "you spend too much on that pickup." So things are going s-l-o-w-l-y. Of course, we needed the pickup for the ovens, the fridge, the stove, the wood, the tile, etc. etc.

Maybe someday I'll make the rig as exquisitely fine as yours, but at this point, it's for hauling dirt, deer, and dogs.

ixnay,
you know i have often asked myself what good an old pickup is if your afraid to scratch it or put something in it because you might scratch the bed. I look at it this way in a couple of years the new will wear off and then my Sons probably wont be as afraid to use them for there intended purposes. This has for me been more about spending the time teaching my Sons and just the great times we have out in the shop restoring these old trucks. Its also a sickness as my Wife has told me but there are worse sicknesses like going to the Bar. Good Luck with your Truck and Kitchen Resto.

We installed the Engine and Tranny and my Wife put the letters on the tailgate. Here are a few pictures of both.
