Thanks guys! Lots of sweet pickemups here, nice fellers too! Since november 25th I've put about 5K on it, it's my sole mode of transport. I haul a 3K pound trailer every day and love this truck! I still have a bunch of stuff to do, like interior, tires, permanent fuel system, paint the hood and bed, get the a/c functional, swap out the rear axle for the Dana 80 out of my engine donor, and general dial in, but have always loved the dent sides!
The brown flat bed in the sandblaster pic is my dads, he bought it new in 79, I learned to drive in it.
