last update. I got a cab and front end, I have doors, I had a bed and running boards, but I needed rear fenders and aprons. the swap meet was saturday and I came up with aprons and a front bumper, he ALSO had a GMC core support and a 41-46 lower apron so I picked those up for future use.
then I heard from a local friend who had some rear fenders, he is building a couple 41-46 so I partially traded the apron for the fenders.
tomorrow rain permitting I will pop the motor back in after cleaning the front clip.
