As I mentioned in my last post, the project was on pause for another year. Here are photos of the next round, summer 2019.

I had all the bed parts, transmission, and many of the front end parts body parts dustless blasted, primed and some rust patch work complete.

During this time I continued to look for another cab or debated repairing the original.

With limited space (and not to have a basket case to move) I decided to reassemble the bed.

A while ago someone commented about the tow truck tractor tire front push bumper that was on it when I bought it. It was two regular bumpers welded together and the tractor tire bolted to it. Too rusty and bent to save the bumper(s) will be replaced, the grill guard will be reused and is shown the photo sandblasted and primed.
