I went to look at a 65 shortbed stepside on craigslist. I ended up bringing home the entire collection of trucks and parts.

Here's mine as I found it. The P.O. had been keeping it on his friend's property and it sat with a load of trash in the bed for about two years. It's a long term project, but I recently replaced the rusty bed and that was a big step.

Looked like this minus the new tires when it was pulled from my great grandads garage. Had been there for 15+ years.

Then..less than a year later.
