Project daily drivable 62 C20

[72cs20]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.

I now have 268 miles of real world usage showing on the odometer. I've been using her for dump and lumber yard runs and general errands. Made a run to the recycler and finally disposed of the old torsion bar front end.

An impact gun, pickle fork and a 5 pound hammer reduced it to 5 manageable pieces in maybe 10 minutes.

I also built some side boards and bought a 6.5x8 cargo net to make hauling easier and safer. Uncovered loads are seriously frowned upon around here.

That cargo net is a real nice addition. Very high quality. It is made by Gladiator Cargo Nets and I bought it through Amazon.

The next phase of the project are the doors. I'm doing the passenger door first. I'm expecting all of the parts to refurbish this door in the next day or so. All new glass, rubber seals, window channels, paint and inside handles. The outside mirrors will be addressed as well.

I'm also going change up the seating and get the three point belts put in. I have an end goal for this truck and the seating arrangement will help meet this goal.

More soon. Thanks.

Well, I'm officially calling this project completed. The goal of the post title "daily drivable" has been met. I've been using the truck every weekend and everything is working great. So I will be seeking a new owner and passing it on for someone else to enjoy, and will free up space for project 66-K20.

I'd also like to say thanks to all who commented during this thread. It greatly helped to keep me going during this two year project.
