Didn't get much done today on "downlow-littledough". Had to drive out to my work (bout 80 miles round trip) and pick up my semi-donor 78 pickup. Just a cab, long bed, and front and rear end. I plan on using the a-arms of it as well as some of the other stuff I need. gonna cut the frame down and make a pickup bed trailer and try to peddle it. It's got a real nice cab too. Probably dump it as well after I get some pieces off it.
Too bad you guys in the rusty world are so far away. Good cabs are pretty plentiful out here.

Anyhow, I was able to get my outer plates in place. Welded on the edges and one side got it's 8- grade 8, 7/16" bolts. Man, that drilling takes it out of your back. I forgot how hard it is. I want to get all the bolts in place and tightened down before I weld in the inner plates.
Few pics for anyone interested;
