I got the rest of the truck in various stages of body work and Paint.... Don't even care about the right order of doing thing.... I have my methods. Looking for the finish line(check out the start of this thing

)of a running truck. It's come a long ways and has a way to go but, I have the whole truck stored in my shop and it's time to get it back together

It is so...nice to see your truck at this stage Jerry!

I remember the feeling all too well about finishing mine and how much more room it gave i the shop LOL!

Plan to get it done while gas is rock bottom price to burn some rubber?

A little bit of time finally to get back at it. I've been working on it for awhile with no pic's but, a lot has had to be redone due to sitting for 3+ yrs waiting for a shop to work in

Dang good to see your update my friend!

Ispy 3G alternator / power steering / disc brakes just to start with upgrades from when this truck rolled into your body shop for cab mounts many years ago!

You do know this truck won't even drive like the same truck right LOL!

And...it'll be "EMP compliant", (with points ignition) or will it have a Duraspark box that'll fry like all our computer comntrolled vehicles once China drops that on us for the money that the U.S. owes them?

Edit, I see Duraspark, keep the points dizzy in the toolbox to come rescue me please LOL!

Congrats on being able to work on her again! Bet that new shop is a dream come true.

Randy it certainly is

but, it gets over run by material of my job sites or projects that are part of my business

My truck has had its fare share of **** leaned (or piled on top of) on it.

It's feels good to get to it.....just got some tools from Eastwood.... got a big order coming from NPD

If I only knew which direction I'm headed

Should be able to marry the new E brake cables to the original setup

Don't know if I'm going with foot pedal setup or switching to center lever setup

Fresh bushings in the pedal setup and the fatmax sound deadener

Looks good. If you break up the work into segments, it is easier to get things done. I see you are doing brake work, just concentrate on that system and get everything done you can on that.

Thx Paul... that's the plan

sorta. Wanna get the brake lines run and the E brake cables connected. Steering pump hoses next....then maybe I can get the inner fenders set

no sense in working over top of them
