A brief status report on the progress of the 51.
-Frame is back from the sandblasters. Looks good. Some deep pits, but they're clean.
-Cab is gutted. Glass, Heater, Gauges, *****, Wiring etc. all out.
Up next,
-Procure IFS Crossmember (Coil Over) and install.
-Box Frame and fill holes.
-Set and "engineer" gas tank ( I want to be able to drop the tank with out taking the bed off).
-Set and engineer rear 4 link setup.
That's it for now. If anyone needs any parts (Spring Brackets, Engine, Trans, Rear, Gauges, Front Axle, etc), let me know, before they wind up on "that auction site".

Sounds like good progress, keep up the good work. I got my rebuilding the Ford 9" DVD today. I'll watch that over the weekend a couple chapters at a time since I'm working. Maybe drop off the gas tank at the radiator guy's place on Tuesday.
