What's Amazing is that I was going through the older pictures and forgot just how far we've come to save that cab. I can't remember who I got the Cab from anymore. Pipe up if it was YOU!
Quick time line, note the YEARS!
Bought cab from another member fall of 2003
Cab was delivered to his dads farm in Ill. Spring 2004
Went to get cab fall of 2004
Had cab Soda Blasted Winter 2004
Friend let it re-rust all to hell (The Ba**ard) 2 weeks later
Had cab acid dipped in in early August 2005
Had Cab primed on AUGUTS 25, 2005
Katrina Came AUGUST 29th, drowned it! and had to start all over again! What a Bi*ch!
Truck had to wait until I had a house, the nerve!
Decided to clean her up in Fall 2006
Worked with some guys to cut out the rust and fix the dents in can from Fall-2006 until Until Fall of 2009.
Bodyshop Man took over at this point in October 2009 and was going good until he broke his wrist (8-10 month project hold)
Late fall 2010 cab was straightened, Exterior and Interior body work completed and colors picked.
October 2010 interior painted and complete
January 2011 Cab completely painted.
Been a LONG 7 years. I think I will win some sort of award for longest friggin time spent on a cab in history!
I know several people that would have given up a long time ago. Theris just something about that V-6 thats gets to you.
