The body.... where do I start? The truck looked great from about 20 feet away, but once you looked close, it was a mess to say the least. Since I was "all in" on this project, I decided the body needed to be done right.

I sold the bed and ordered up all new steel. Now we can have fresh metal and a wood bed. Once I got a real good look at the cab, I decided to try and find a better one. I found one in Arkansas and bought it sight unseen & had it trucked to Michigan. It was rough, but not as bad as the original, so we are going to use it.

The Ark. cab also had very nice doors and a good tach dash, so I am happy with all those parts.
