Hey Guys,
Starting my first build tread on the peach! Just a little background on the truck, I bought it in the fall in Salmon Arm BC and brought it back to Calgary. It was pretty complete, everything was there but just barely held together with a couple bolts. We originally thought it looked pretty good but once the tear down began we started to realize we got ourselves into something way bigger then anticipated. Lets just say a magnet would have been a wise thing to bring with when we bought the truck!
Anyhow I've slowly been buying all the tools I need from a sandblaster to a plasma cutter and much more. I've completely torn down the truck and am currently rebuilding the front cab rockers and door hinge mounts at the moment. I've got one side nearly done and about half of the other side. Once they are both complete I will move on to replacing most of the firewall, the entire floor and cab mounts.
The plan is to move it to a newer S-10 chassis and either a small v8 or if we can find a reasonably priced newer diesel to put in it go that way! Anyhow, hope everyone enjoys the ride and please, constructive criticism is more then welcome! I'm learning so if you guys see something that you would have done differently let me know. Ideas are also great!
Here's my photo album of the truck so far!
