Yeah it's ugly now.........
BUT tomorrow I start tearin' it apart. The next time it is in one piece it will be a thing of beauty. Wish me luck, and thanks in advance for answering the huge amount of questions I will be asking during this project.

Looks like a pretty good starting point... you're lucky to have the time & place (and everything else!) to tackle a frame-off!

I can relate....But as others have said it looks good now. To be really ugly you must add a few more colors to the mix.

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
I would assume that since we have not heard anything about this truck in 5 years it is propably sold, sitting unfinished in a back yard, or finished along time ago. It could also be a combination of 2 out of 3

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
WOW... 5 years later. It's been drivable (NOT finished)for about 2 years, but it mostly just sits in the driveway. I went to a local car show in late Sept. and it really got me mad that my truck STILL wasn't ready. SO, I just gutted the cab, ordered up sound deadener and carpet. I'm picking up $600 in mostly interior parts from BROTHERS TRUCKS when I head out to Cali next week. After that it's just minor body work, paint and wheels. I'll try to find some more recent pics.
