Re: "Abigail Amelia."
I've gotten as far as new wheels, and I had that partial bracket removed from the front. Hubby and I are wishing we'd selected tires that were a little bigger (37") and wider. Oh well, next round...
The brakes were completely rebuilt the day after we bought the truck (THAT was a scary test drive!).
It seems like the truck has been treated reasonably well by previous owners. The engine sounds great. So other than cosmetic stuff, I don't have a big plan yet, other than Don't Break It. I plan to preserve / restore the interior. I like patina, but maybe this truck's patch work of colors would be better restored to the original bright blue. And, it's a work truck, purchased to help with an interstate move and possible home rebuild, so I don't need a paint job that's too nice to scratch.
Trying to decide if I should keep this grill or look for an original replacement, or get creative?
What ideas would you guys have?
Michelle
