Before and after pics
Just got a new scanner and scanned a couple old 35MM photos. I have been looking forward to this so I can start working on my build site.

Re: Before and after pics
Thanks for the comments. I am officially on vacation until Jan. 5. I hope to drive it that day, or earlier! This has been a 13 + year project. I will be installing the bed wood next week, along with the fenders,tailights & etc. I can hardly wait to drive it to the local service station to fuel it up for the first time in 13 years!! Here's a couple more pics.

Re: Before and after pics
Thanks again for the comments guys.
chevy29267, actually that is not an oil bath air cleaner. It is the overslung pleated element air filter housing for the I-6 engine with power brakes. It positions the air cleaner away from the brake booster. The engine is the 250.

Re: Before and after pics
Impressive. Went with the stock theme with stock upgrades, which is not easy to do. A labor of love. Merry Christmas.

Re: Before and after pics
When I made my earlier post I hadn't seen that engine bay yet and that looks great. I hope you get a lot of good years of enjoyment out of that truck.
