Sorry, was out of town last week. The body work is finished and everything put back together. They are finishing up work on the carb and ignition. Hopefully this week!

Still don't have my baby yet. I discovered that the fender extensions were somehow lost so we are awaiting replacements from LMC Truck, which will need priming and painting. Also the replacement Pertronix kit was bad so that's on reorder... 'smiliedoh'

The fender extensions are these little panels between the runing board and door hinge. It's pretty obvious when they are not in place, have no idea why the shop thought everything looked OK.

It does leave an obvious hole, but they take a beating and you'll be better off with new ones. Lots of dirt and water can hide in and around them so rust has a natural place to form.

The home stretch...nothing gets more exciting than that. Can't wait to see the final product.

Wow very nice truck, I can't wait to see the finished product. Is that a 1950? My grandfather had a 50, years ago, I've always wanted to find a good builder project to take a trip down memory lane. Fine looking truck, congrats.

Cool I'm gonna keep my eye on this one. Like I said I have fond memories of my granddad's truck. Someday I hope to get one myself, I doubt it will be that nice though. Congrats on it.
