I really like the look of this old workhorse.

This may also sound ridiculous, but if you can manage it a second truck can really help you out. I have done 1 truck, am working on a second, and have been helping my pa in law do his 47 Stylemaster. On each project we have purchased a complete parts vehicle. One that is assembled but usually beat to snot. These old scrappers have been an amazing resource. It is like a puzzle's box lid to see how your truck goes together. It may also provide the odd piece here and there, a measurement, or a place for kids/grandkids to play in. I have NEVER regretted buying one of them. The only problem I've had so far is that they are still around. 😀 My kids overheard me talking about selling the parts C20 truck when I finish my C10 and grew quite concerned. "You're not selling our truck, are you?!"

Oh boy, they're calling it "theirs"!

I'm outta here.
