Dave,

Glad you kept this one....looking forward to seeing you get this restored, but it doesn't look as if you'll need to do much body work....I will warn you of the "might as wells"...they get you everytime, and prolong the project.....Have FUN!!!

CheyenneShop · 11-14-2009, 05:10 PM

Dave - I too was glad to see you kept her. If you need any help give me a jingle, I'll bring Weyenberg and a few road sodas

Oh ya there is a plain flying over your head in one of the first pictures

Are you going to give it a ride adjustment at all? Keep us posted.

That's one slick truck to start with, I will be one who wants to see the finished product.

Right now I have rocker panel envy as that is one thing my 71 is needing pretty bad.
