as said above, looks like a very good solid start! after I picked up my 51 I think I have replaced almost all of the sheetmetal! how are you cab corners?

keep us posted on plans and progress.

Looks like you you have a nice build to work on. When you say my 28 year treasure does that mean you had the truck for 28 years already and if so it might be time to get started on it.I would start by replacing that tarp someone put on it around 28 years ago.All joking aside that truck looks to be in great shape for a very nice looking truck down the road.I wished my truck looked that good starting out.

Who cares about the looks, how does it run?
Does it have the original drive train or something a bit more modern?
