Now starts the heavy work. This update shows a series of photos of the visual inspection before work was started on the first week of the restoral process.

Day 1 of the frame up restoration & rebuild, visual inspection and take-down. Now home sitting in its garage workshop spot, Pulled up the hood and took a look at the 350 engine underneath. It seems to be in great condition and overhaul-able.

A look at the cab shows severe rust damage on the roof section. Although that can be replaced by a brand new cab roof. There is more than it seems wrong with the cab. As you can see near the glass, there is a huge rust hole near the pillar.

Rocker panels are severally rusted out.

More rust damage on the passenger side rocker panel.
