1976 F250 Camper Special Build

building this truck to be my daily driver. it's not going to be a show truck.. just a truck. half way through the project a tree came down in a windstorm, and landed my covered shop on both of my trucks. that was a good set back as both cabs were banged up pretty bad, and now no under cover to finish the project. but I took a few days to lick my wounds, and got right back at it. had to take the roof apart to get at my trucks. i ended up making some room in my work shop and rolled it in there. I eventually found a new cab for 400 bucks, it isn't perfect but it will do. thanks for all the help so far from all you guys.

It hurts to see that kind of damage. Nice work on the repairs. What are you doing with the cabs? Keeping for sheet metal repair or selling?
