Mine needs a bath, BAD. All the rain and wind has her covered in blossoms and pollen. I'll get a picture later today if I get to wash her.

Still waiting.



The rear brakes will need a complete refurb. I have some salvage yard drums being turned right now. I still have to get the front brakes apart the calipers are rusted to the clamps.

At least I got the dash back together.

What's wrong with that piston? Clean it up and throw it back in.

One of the things I like about driving my truck is the large hood and the long expansive windshield.

mine looks the same as it did 34 years ago and it's been through ~6 owners. I'll see if I can get some pics up this afternoon.
