Re: And The Fun Begins...

Welcome aboard and there is always fun when working on these old trucks. Keep us posted with pics as you work on your truck. We all like to read what is being done and adding pics makes it ten times better.

Re: And The Fun Begins...

Well, the sun ain't out and it's a little too nippy out to get all wet with the power sprayer....so I'll post....
I got my new piece of yard art 9 days ago. It starts, runs and stops. It's got a 350/350 with rams horns and a Lockar. I'm not sure about any of the engine or rearend, haven't gotten to the numbers yet. It's been cobbled together but it seems fairly tight. There is rust through passenger front fender and radiator support, nowhere else that I see yet, and there is some bondo....This will be a rolling project. I will probably need your alls help with getting the parking brake hooked back up.... here's some pics in the meantime ...
