Finally got the shop cleaned out enough to get the "lemonator" under cover. Took a few hours today to fix some "improvements" the PO had done.

Gotta love them old-skool vinyl tonneau covers! Drilling out 72 rusty snaps and filling the holes is a PITA for sure!

I have a couple weeks of vacation coming up here in a few days and I hope to get the cab roof finished and painted. The interior stripped and painted and the trashed SM420 swapped for the TH350 I have. I'll be sure to keep ya'll posted as I go along.
