I'd like to get my box painted this year, but I don't know if that will happen. Otherwise I'm not planning on doing much of anything to either of my obs trucks.

Haha! Right Glenn? I think that's always in the back of an OBS owner's mind just due to what we use them for and the age of them.

This about where I am Darin and it feels good. It only took 3 years! LOL Hopefully my attention will now focus on the '66 Ford Falcon Wagon I am eyeing when I get back to California. My buddy has too many cars and is willing to sell it to me for a decent price. It just needs cleaning up and maintenance. It even has a 302! Here's to 2016!!

I'd like to find time, during warmer, drier weather, to install the parts I bought from RiffRaff and catch up on the severely needed maintenance items that have been neglected due to my unemployment status. If I can spend my FAFSA refund before my wife does, I might be able to get the truck done before the summer break.
