I have 12 years or so to do body work buy this is my dd.
Right now I just want to fix the mechanical part so I can drive it again.
I just wanted to hear the optimistic opinions and experiences from you guys!!!!
I guess I should not have asked!!!!LOL
I dont want to wait years to drive it again.
You guys are motivating me to finish my small list to get it running again.
There is so many things I want to do now that I have easy acces to it.
No I can deal with a little wire being out of place.
must not let it sit

I bought mine in 1975, for $30. I was 15 and worked on it until I had it ready to drive when I turned 16, and got a license. I drove it for several years then started taking it apart, putting it back together, and driving it a little more.
It has never been a "nice" truck, but it has always been fun.
It is currently in it's second, and hopefully last, frame off. I'm going to make it nice enough to be a driver. Not a show truck, but complete and dependable.

i'm with ross .... fiddlin" leads to positive things . and yep it'll run again as they all will . mines been down for 2 years and 1/2 , and the 52 has been sitting for dain near 9 months now thanx to the wiring disaster . the 52 will or should be running again , and one of these moons my bessie , the 53 will be a running truck / non truck { it's working days are over !!!! } . just keep plugging away , and if the chance presents itself take that boat anchor outta the engine bay and use it to do just that , anchor a boat or the person who put it there , to the bottom of the nearest deep body of water ................... LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
