Looks like a real good start. Mine was very rusty.
What are the build plans?

Congratulations on the new bonding project. My son is only 11months old but my Wife and I are already starting on his fist truck. We are doing the full chassis so it can get on the road to start building memories and then when he is old enough we will start on the body mods together.

Welcome from BC. Looks like a good truck. Although the wiring under the dash looks a wee bit suspect.
