This truck is somewhat worse but It is rusted just like a truck I looked at in Oceanside Cali that had been in that area since new.

Hookay...

Back from Vegas...New years there was a blast

Also swung by Pahrump and picked up the cab and hood for 550 bones - minus the 100 that I won at the Mirage and it wasnt a bad trip.















A problem with this cab is that the drivers side door seems really weak. I can easily squeeze the inner and outer skins much closer together with only moderate hand pressure.





There is a crack near the top of the inner door and the window frame is quite loose as well.



Now I am kinda stuck, as in where should I start?

I used it for a run to the dump and it ran well, untill it got fully warmed up then it was trying to die on me at stoplights. I got back home and seafoamed it (Smoke show had the neighbors outside staring ).

Although now it will fire with starter fluid, but it wont keep running. Going to pull the fuel filter and the line from pump to carb and see what I can see. either way though, I am debating with myself on where to start with this project...

If I start with the bed (just stripping, throwing in a patch panel over the rusted tool box opening, and priming it, then rhino liner) or should I start with the cab and render it totally undriveable right off the bat as I locate seats, tilt steering column and pull all the parts out of the cab that is on it now.

I want to minimize the time that it is an obvious project (IE no cab mounted, or no front clip) due to the Base housing regulations. But I need to start showing some signs of improvement to keep the wife happy (she gets unhappy with perpetual non-op projects)

My immediate plans are to tweak my little cab dolly ( didnt realize that the rear frame mounts were further apart from the fronts ) and take down all the christmas crap that the wife had me put up, so I will begin really diggin in on this project the following weekend.

Game On!
