Good start to what looks like a solid truck. It is amazing how many trucks are out there, and how many are being restored.

Bolt heads were completely rusted away. I'm going with a different style bed flooring anyways.BobbyFord wrote:Why did you cut the bed rails?

Disconnect wiring, unbolt inner fenders from cab along with rubber straps half way down inner fender, unbolt core support from frame, and pull entire front end off.max03 wrote:What's the quickest way to remove the front cap like that?
