nice day for a spring cleaning
It was nice and sunny this morning so I thought I would clean the shop a little,
I didn't get to far, as soon as I got a few cars out it clouded up and started hailing. So this is about all I got done.

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning
Ain't that the way? You keep your stuff safe in a building and no sooner do you roll them out and here comes the hail.
I'd like to arm wrestle Al for that Dodge. When I had my '69 and got keen on that body style I came to liking the original design best. The body went from 61-71, so Dodge all but missed the 67-72 era with a "next" design and the '71 body was basically to '61 standards. A wholotta metal. But the dual headlamps tell the era and the grille is just too dang cool. The wheel opening on the bed is farther forward on the early ones like yours and the round tail lamps with fatter sides/narrow tailgate from the rear just look cool. I am done now talking about your old Dawj

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning
That Dodge is a 62, my wife's grandfather bought it new. It has been a farm truck most of it's life. It belongs to our son now.
I have it's big ugly brother sitting behind the shop, not real sure what I'm going to do with it yet.

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning
Nice size shop ,, a "Lean To" is next ,,probably ,,although your weather there is mostly a Patina maker more than a rust maker,, is it not?

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning
Ugly brother needs a new home as well. I will arm wrestle Tim for it.
I have its grandson in my fleet now and it is a bit lonely.

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning

Re: nice day for a spring cleaning
I fogot to mention the small back window as well. Just look at those trucks. Where's the plastic? Dash knobs? That's a chunk of metal there. Leaf spring/solid beam front end, too, through '71. Now that's a truck! Is the turquoise one, or just a cab & chassis, your wife's?
Well,the hail is gone. Did you get your shop straight? Looks darn straight in the picture
