Got it ready for primer and paint, hopefully this weekend. Dennis


Got to love taking the fender with you while camping and working on it!! Very nice work, truck looks great!

Bite your tongue. I'm surprised how straight the front bumper is, for an old farm truck. They made up for it with dents on the roof. Dennis

I had a nice straight original bumper until the guy who towed it turned to tight and bent it. Might try to straighten it some day...
