Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

Got alot done on the frame but it's a long dirty process! And boring! I did get some parts like the rear springs and some brackets completely done and coated with POR but I have a long way to go.

The new floor board finally came in and it's a beauty! This is the right way to fix an old truck floor. No patch work here and NO hidden rust left behind. I've been waiting for this piece so now the frame work will be put on hold while I get back to the cab.

My first test fit went very well. Only 2 small areas to trim and it set right in place. Today I began welding it all in. A few more welds tomorrow and I can upright it and begin installing the lower pillar panels, outer rockers and cab corners.

Feels good to actually be putting parts on instead of just taking things off!
