Tim, sounds like you and Shawna are pretty stoked with the new project!. I don't blame you. That's going to be a cool ride when done!. Good luck!.

Big time Jim. Now I just have to carry this excitement over to my 72

I gotta get it done now

Boy you sure are gluttons for punishment!

Gonna be a lot of work on that one.

Nah, we aren't gluttons for punishment, we just see a lot of potential in things that others don't. Isn't that what being in this hobby is all about??

This truck is in a lot better shape than any other 55-59 era truck we have looked at and was at a better price. If the frame welds aren't going to pass, I have a spare 72 LWB frame here that can be cut down to a shorty over a weekend. So, I'm not gonna sweat it.
Thanks for all your great feedback guys
