Looks like progress to me! I'd like to enroll today for your training class on how to get teenage boys to help work on your old truck. Not much interest from mine!

I used the phrase "I'm gonna be dead someday, so stop picking on me". See, that makes 'em start thinking maybe they'll get the truck... after they stop laughing.

Holy smokes! why would you take the thing apart? They never seem to go back together quite as quickly as they came apart...

Btw where does the Gander fit into all of this or is it a Goose?

nope ross . the frame was bent . sat 1 inch higher on one side than the other , the wiring was shot . the flatty is going back in , but with the parts i've gathered for it . it's kinda gonna be darkside as i bought discs , and lowering it , and it's getting a 3.08 geared 8.8 diff .the gander is her concrete one she dresses up for some weird reason .................. as far as billy's boy's , they are gearheads themselves and will take the opportunity to work on old stuff all day and they help dad with his 53 . buying a new bed , and gonna fix the rust in the front cab corners , etc. before it goes back together . the other frame is visible there , and should be completely done purty dain quickly .
