Have all the brakes/bearings removed and stripped the bed down over the weekend. Once I get all the bits - now ordered - delivered across the pond it will be back on the road in as un-restored a condition as possible.

I think it's important to have a few 'as new' condition trucks to keep the dream alive, but it's very important to have used ones on the road doing what they were built for.

Lose the chrome wheels and obtain the stock wheels and she's perfect IMHO!!!
