Poor old truck. Gary could fix this up with some lumber and add it to the woody fleet!

One of my breakfast buddies has a favorite phrase that captures this. He says "all ya gotta do is.....". All ya gotta do is drain your 401k, and invest the next five years of your life, turning that p.o.s. into a woodie. But then again, it does have lots of potential. Stu

I know that truck. If it wasn't 300 miles away, I'd rescue it for the rear fenders and running boards

If your still in the black hills this one is more like 750 miles away, this one has a twin maybe?

This one is in Rupert Idaho.

Today I got Stu's trans bolted up to my engine and got engine disconnected from my run stand. Hoping I'd get it all into the frame rails, then my son showed up needing help on some store fixtures and when that was done my stepson showed up needing a truckload of boards planed and straight-lined for the ceiling of the cabin he's building and then...... Oh never mind. They are both great young men and I have a good time working on their projects with them. But.....l
