Larry,
Thanks for the update, it's an inspiration to see someone documenting their progress. I have been following your resto for awhile, good work. I have a 66 fleetside I am trying to restore.
Had not read that section about your family friend, gave me goosebumps reading the account.
Now a question, why do you use the JB weld prior to the metal to metal filler?
Keep the updates coming.
Thanks
