Very nice new toy you got there!

The windshield was cracked all the way across the line of vision in the 68 dump truck. I happened to have the glass from my 72 in storage waiting reinstallation. I had a gentleman come out to install it into the 68 since I’ve heard how much of a PIA it is. He earned his money that’s for sure! After he popped out the broken windshield I had the opportunity to inspect and clean up the channel. I was very happy with the lack of rust, and thought I’d share some pictures.

Yes, that joint is in very good condition!

So is this the new project truck?

NO!!!! This will be a work truck, I'd like to hire myself out to do dirt work, and use the truck to tow my Case backhoe. I just need to do a few small things to get it tagged and pass a safety inspection.

I promise I will not take it apart.

I guess I just can’t live with a long bed. This one had to loose 3 feet. The plan is to build a dump bed that’s short enough to allow me to hook up a trailer directly to the frame. I need to weld a hitch plate and add a pintle hitch next. This time it only took an afternoon to complete the surgery. It’s a lot easier without bedsides!
