When ever you can is cool. Thanks again!
I'd like to learn how to weld better than I do. I really want to learn how to tig weld. My Dad got a TIG last fall and I haven't tried it yet. I had a buddy who started messing with it who is a professional welder, but he quit coming around. Go figure.

The engine doesn't come with it. It's pretty gutted however. There doesn't appear to be rust around the inside of the windshield, but the floor supports and inner/outer rockers are shot. I happen to have a 71 cab with perfect floors and shoddy windshield area on the RH corner. It's an a/c cab and this burb isn't. I'm contemplating cutting the 2 cab s I have and using the burb upper structure and roof as needed. Then I might have a easier shot at the 4th door by using 2 truck doors and modifying the skin. I know Ak'srus did his this way. I won't really know until I get the burb hull home though. It's in Topeka right now.
