Next year marks the 20th anniversary of my Brothers death. I am fortunate enough to have in my possession his 77 flareside. Unfortunately I have ignored this truck for the last 15 or so years. My goal is to have a frame off restoration completed by07/18/2016. Will post pictures when I get the truck in the barn and start the tear down.

 

Come here 1st to get some great help with it.

I am partial to a 77 Flareside for some odd reason. Be sure to start a build thread and post lots of pics.

 

Plan on posting lots of pics. Won't get started till next month though. Weather here isnt cooperating at the moment. Thanks for the encouragement it is appreciated.

 

While waiting for weather to clear, outline a build plan, the required parts, their sources (salvage/JY, rebuild, or retail), and the estimated price. Then you'll know, with reasonable certainty, about what the project will cost... then add 15 percent for "while I'm there".

If ya get stuck, we're here to lend a virtual hand.... We wanna see another piece of vintage American steel back on the road.

 

I am looking forward to the pictures.
