Just the one pic so far ...


I'll get more up soon. It's in good shape for a 40 year old truck, Sheetmetal is in outstanding condition. Mechanically it runs but needs some TLC but doesn't everybody over the age of 40! Lots of things to do just can't decide where to start! Anybody got a big FE block laying around? =)

yes, TLC is good, but some days it feels more like an overhaul is needed. Nice truck. Looks like a fun project. What are your plans for it?

Sounds like good projects, and will keep you busy for awhile. Keep us posted as you move forward. Best wishes.

Ridgecrest/China Lake is home these days. I don't live in Hell, but I can see it from my back porch!
