Restoring anything takes allot of time, usually at least twice the time I estimated, but like you said, totally worth it. Once you marry that patina’d body to the frame you will have an awesome truck. There was a thread I found here that went into great depth about the differences throughout the years and now I can't find it. There is a Tech Tip that covers that subject and can be found here. Keep up the good work and great posts! I’ll be following!
