Finished the 3 year restoration and most of the shake out issues are corrected. Took the wife for a ride to the grocery store and snapped
this photo.
Still have a few things to correct, but on to registration and plates. Trying to teach my son to drive a standard transmission is going to be a challenge with this truck, especially hill starts. A heartfelt thanks to everyone on this forum that shared their wisdom and made the restoration so much easier in the end. I could not have been so successful without everyone's help.
So, as a reminder, I started with
this. I also came to the conclusion that I need to add a rear bumper. Afraid the other kids in school parking lot will run into the back of the truck while parking...bumper should add just a bit of protection in this regard.
