Rusty,
Thats a good plan, if you don't have a seat use a milk crate. I can't tell you how many "miles" of cruising I did in my truck before the dang thing could move under its own power. (yes, its perfectly normal to make "vroom, vroom" noises while sitting there)

Just finished c-nothing the rear and splitting and adding 1.5 inches to the rear fenders so they will slide over the tires with the new lower stance. Too hot to work in an un air conditioned garage in Florida, but got er done!

Sat on my tired butt all day Saturday. The Mrs. Took me to the horse races at Del Mar on Sunday. She had a special deal with lunch at the Stretch Run Grill. About $250 worth of food and fun I payed $6 for parking lost $20 on the ponys and had to give Arnold his cut. In all it cost me around $50 with tip. I'd say it was a good day. Oh ya I did drive my truck to pick up a piece of funiture.

Got all of my brake parts ordered last week and they are on their way. Already received my steel lines from Inline Tube. Still waiting on the Disc kit from CPP. Mid Fifty is shipping the MC and other misc extras. Yesterday I stripped the old drums off the front spindles. Today I'm going to match up all the old brake lines with the new ones and possibly get them installed. Hoping everything else arrives this week, I feel like a little kid at Xmas.

I turned my stock 55 f250 frame into a trailer, and managed to stop a grinder with my stomach

Strippin, cleanin and paintin.. front end parts. Looks like somebody replaced one-side of the suspension. Springs are dissimilar as well as Brake Parts. Wheel cylinders were just aluminum oxide powder when I peeled off of the rubber boots.

Several nice new cuts from bumping into my ultra-thick wire wheel grinder to remove 60 years of doo-doo from the tie rods.....
