Talking Finally posted some pics.

I got some pictures up today so you guys can see what I going to be working with. Overall its a pretty solid truck. Only 3 places need replacement on the cab (both back corners and one front), it is mostly surface rust. I hope to start by the end of the year. I'm still thinking things through and getting my equipment together before I start. Thanks for the advise so far but be warned...more questions to come...hehehee.

Looks like a good solid body. As I have posted in the past, engines and transmissions are cheap and plentiful. You can't beat good sheet metal. A great starting point!

Looks like decent straight metal, now all you have to do is make it purty. Have fun.

Thanks for the pics! We love pics
That looks like a good solid truck to start with.

This is the best place to get your questions answered. Heck, these guys around here will even answer the same question over and over and over again without screaming at you. And, as an added bonus, sometimes we even answer the question right

Thanks for all the positive encouragment...I'm looking forward to getting started and I've been getting some great ideas from your galleries. I hope to have some good "Progress Updates" in the near future.
