PJ, I've had several vehicles that have ended up with me asking the same question - "Does this truck/car mean anything to me when it's done?" Is it a truck you really want when it's done? Did one have significant meaning to you as a kid because your Dad or granddad had one like it?..That's one reason I'm doing my '37 Hudson Terraplane resto, is that my mom's Dad had one after WWII just like the car I have. He moved the whole family (wife and SEVEN kids, and a dog) plus a small U-haul in 1947 from Chicago to Los Angeles. So, even though I never saw his car, except for one picture, it has meaning for me to do it up right and give my Mom a ride in it before the end of this year.

What is your ultimate desire for this truck, is it reasonably acheivable, and can you do it without driving yourself crazy, or sleeping in the garage with your truck because your wife isn't as crazy about it as you might be?

If it ain't fun, don't do the truck...BUT, sell, trade, or give away what you do have for someone else to work. Don't scrap it, whatever you do!
