Far too long since my last post. Took a phone call from my son to motivate me to sit down at the computer. Much rather lay down under the truck. Since last post - 351W, T5 tranny with S10 shifter, pedals, steering column, Brake and gas lines and wiring 90% complete. Sadly it only took a minute to type the work it took over a year to complete.
As I was fitting together the front clip yesterday it truly felt like I am on the downhill side of this project. Hopr to be spreadin manure by next summer.
Enjoy the pics.

 

That's going to be a good looking '51. Actually, it's already a good looking '51.
You've reminded me I need to update my build thread.

 

Thanks for the kind words...look forward to seeing your update.

 

Great looking truck. Nice to see another local 51!

Exterior is now the same color.

 

The tipping point between dis-assembly and re-assembly is a happy day - especially when the parts fit as well as yours do. Congrats on the progress - and don't get bummed about the work to word ratio. You know what you've accomplished.

Looking great! Love the color, she should be a nice driver too.
