69cst resto
The more I look at this project, I'm thinking I should make better use of the parts truck, and leave the original cst truck for reference as I'm reassembling. The parts truck has only 75000 mi. and the frame is in much better shape, as is the box, front fenders, and even the hood's in good shape.The replacement cab is coming along well, and the body shop may be getting the box for body work soon. My cst is badly rusted and most of the trim is gone. I can make an awesome truck with the factory air, full gauges w/tach, and the factory buckets w/ console. I can get the 350 rebuilt and freshen up the turbo 400. Any input from members and guests would be appreciated.

I'm approaching the cab somewhat the same way. I'll blast the parts truck cab and rebuild it from scratch using the current (driver) cab as a reference. Sounds like a good approach to me :-D |
