Nice truck. I also like the grill. Makes it look happy to be alive and ready for anything.

Correct, Uncle Jessies truck was a dent, I remember one episode where it appeared as both a longbed and a shortbed.

well this truck is no longer in existence i was in the process of removing the body and the frame broke once i got the cab on i guess the cab was all that was holding it together so it is now more than likely flat

Maybe you can find another frame to keep the project going or.......break out the welder and fix the damage?
