Progress Pics
I know I haven't posted many pictures of my restore process so far, but since getting the truck last August I have made some progress. Since last summer, I have had the truck down to the frame, cleaned and repainted the frame, replaced all suspension parts, new brakes, lines etc. I also replaced the rockers, cab corners, and got the body work done on cab, inside and out. I also finished up the bed, tailgate, and doors, and painted everything in my garage. This past week, I picked up my crate motor (350 260 HP) and 350 trans and got that painted and put in. I'll be working on getting the rest of the engine buttoned up in the next few weeks. My goal is to have it on the road by the end of summer. Here are some pics of when I got it last summer, and where I'm at now. David
