Hello all;

A Two-fer today as I forgot to finish and send in my previous post which was from Thursday.
Some good news, I have a job! I start on the 30th, so I spent Saturday at the shop trying to get done what I can. The new job is Mon-Fri so it is really going to cramp my style on the truck build... But a job is a good thing for sure, I am really excited to get in there and start.
Saturday was a productive day though, I got a lot of parts stripped off the truck. Exhaust, seats, seat frame, seat belts, running boards, box side trim panels, rear bumper and splash pan, grill shroud support, shifter and trans tunnel cover removed.

I got the new parts organized and put away as cleaned up a bunch of stuff from the box as well in prep to remove it. (The box )
This sets me up for the week to blast, repair, sand and epoxy another batch of parts.
The other cool thing I wanted to mention was all the great journals there are now. For a while, there was only a couple being regularly updated, but now there are almost a dozen. Great job, guys! I really enjoy reading the updates from the other builds and enjoy posting as well.

I will still be working on the truck as much as possible and posting too. I imagine there will be a period I may slack off a bit, but once I find a new routine, I should be able to get back to it.
Back soon, stay safe,
Steve
