Re: how long did it take to get your truck on the road?
This is when I bought mine in January. It hasn't run since December 1996.
Two days later it was running. 3 days later everything worked and was legal. Here it is now ![]() That's probably not what you were looking for. ![]() |

Re: how long did it take to get your truck on the road?
I've had my truck since the early 80s, and it was a daily driver for many years, parked for many years, but pretty much a running driveable truck during that time. These are from about 5/2/2009, when I finally got to the point that I was going to get it painted no matter what. My son and I tore it down to the frame that weekend.
![]() ![]() I converted to EFI and added a posi, other than that the drivetrain and suspension were left to the mods I had done in the past. I did all of the bodywork but had a local shop do the final sanding and spray it. I worked evenings and weekends and vacation days, holidays, and as much as my wife would tolerate. The paint was done about 8/1/2011. ![]() I drove it again around labor day weekend 2011. I spent the fall and winter working on details to finish it up. Just replaced the grill and front bumper yesterday. Still have to finish the exhaust and a few more upgrades but I have been driving it since last fall. I was also working on a 72 Jimmy off and on through this time, which is the current major rebuild. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here what it looked like around 1984... ![]() This is 1987... ![]()
