Man Tony, sure does'nt look like the same truck that left my house. Still like my Simplicity Landlord though. lol
Let me know when you want the hoist and if you need help getting it home.
Do you need to use an engine stand as well? Mine is empty right now and for a while

Thanks, means alot coming from a Tired Old Rebel. lol
It is starting to show it's age now as it is a 2 part enamel and is about 7 years old now. Working on a 64 Sprint,right now, wanting to get it driveable then I want to pull my truck down again, re-do the body work and paint it a base coat Clear coat.

All of those painted parts look like new Tony. Nice work.
Will you be calling a work day to put the 390 into the 71?
I got all of my brackets and yoke for the Sprint today at the Pick and pull so I can start painting them up. I just hope I can make them look as nice as yours.

Same as Budman said sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well.When you get your truck back together you'll have to drive it to our next GTG so we can see all that great work you have done.
