Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll keep it short.
And yes the truck is running and driving. (Like a beaut) took it up and down the road, but man that got cold. Oh, my brakes "work" lol kinda sorta

Properly restoring old and even slightly rusty vehicles is very time consuming.
I don`t really know how much time we spent, maybe something like 15 + hours just making patch panels and butt welding in ready made ones on the 92`s box. And it wasn`t bad at all, the cab and doors are perfect, the front fenders I`m replacing because of some rust.
Rust in vehicle bodies is pretty much unstoppable (like forms of some cancers) once it gets a good start so it has to be totally cut out with new metal replacing any sections that have even the slightest rust
perforations.
