The '92 is an awesome truck! Really happy with it. As for Ollie, I decided to not start a thread for now. I get burned out easily and have a tendency to not finish a project and I thought that might be contributing (trying to keep pictures uploaded, documenting progress, keeping up with the rat race, etc) so I'm holding off for now. It currently sits as a drivable truck with a mostly completely refurbished interior. I've pulled the old aftermarket trim and need to pull the current straight 6 bc even though it runs and drives, the current motor has a pretty bad knock in the bottom end and has bad rings. I have another low mileage straight 6 that I plan to beef up and drop in.

In preparation for new trim and motor, I'm debating whether to try my hand at a frame up resto. The cab has some considerable rust down low and I'm just not sure I'll be happy with it if I don't fix it (or have it fixed). If I take my time and just complete one portion at a time, I think I can do it (like i did with interior, start with frame/chassis).

All that said, that's where I am for now. If I'm going to pull the front clip and bed to clean up, do suspension, put in new motor, I figure I may just dive in all the way. I like the truck, it's a shorty, and I have a title so it's worth the investment, in my opinion.

Welcome opinions.
