Good morning everyone!
Bummer on the bearing Mike. But, nice to have happen in the driveway.
I picked up my replacement hood yesterday. Now, I have new hood, fenders, cab body, doors, inner fenders, two more engines, essentially an entirely new truck. And I don't know if I'm going to pursue the restoration on the frame I have, or get another one. Reality says, get a new truck, altogether. Wife agrees with reality.

Good morning Scott, Steve and Eric!! Hope everyone has a great Monday!
Eric that is great you were able to get all those parts rounded up! But the getting a whole new truck thing is nice also especially if the wifey agrees with it!

It's hard to say. I waffle on it. I could buy a truck that is up and running, or could be with little work. Or, I could actually rebuild this one. Or, maybe I could do both.
