Not sure at this point, on the fence about starting another project I thought it was cool though.

Thanks Russ

thanks, I will have to keep that in mind.

**lks dcvn** · 08-16-2020, 04:12 PM

NICE! It's all fixable. I have seen WAY worse saved on this forum.

IF you ever decide to sell those parchment interior door panels - let me know. I haven't been able to find a set for my project.

**truckster** · 08-16-2020, 08:18 PM

That one needs a lot of love. I think they're all worth saving.

**DeadheadNM** · 08-16-2020, 08:34 PM

Nice save!

**too much stuff** · 08-16-2020, 10:20 PM

Looks very complete. That was a sharp one in its day...

68panelman · 08-17-2020, 08:24 AM

Not sure if I should save her or part it out? If parting I will put it on the board.

Thanks Russ

countr · 08-18-2020, 09:00 PM

I decided to part out, to rusty in the back half. I will be posting parts for sale in the blazer parts for sale board in the next couple days. Thanks to all members on there suggestions.

Thanks Russ

Ryan, that cab is in bad shape, I just got it for the windshield and a few other parts.

I do have a pretty nice 68, 503 green cab I will be posting for sale in a couple weeks if interested. I will put it up in the truck parts board.

Thanks Russ

Some are fixable and some are not ... Rust is a killer.

**lks dcvn** · 08-21-2020, 09:24 AM

They are ALL fixable - just depends on the time and $$$ you want to spend to resurrect them.

scott123 · 08-22-2020, 08:41 PM

Nice find. And agree, everything is fixable. Just how much money and how much time and effort required.

Lesson learned:

When I was in my early 20's I had one that was in really good shape with the exception of one of the door hinges had rusted from the jam.

I had a buddy tell me that was suppose to be 'the guy' tell me that could not be fixed and I did not know any better, so I hacked it up to make another one.

Looking back that was the one that should have been re-done.
