Re: Dad's old '80 SWB...

Thanks Guys... yeah, I think I will stick to the plan...
Get it spruced up, drop in the new engine, paint the thing, and drive the wheels off of it...
I plan on keeping it forever, so maybe a whole frame-off down the road some time...

That's about where I am at, too. Although laying under it putting in cab mounts, I was thinking about how close I was to pulling the cab off and ......
