Okay, here are some pictures of the truck so far. I'm at a standstill right now, waiting for the master cylinder, and waiting for my one ton to sell so I can get more money for parts! As it is, I'm ready for the road. Well, okay, I have no windshield yet either. Wait Wait Wait!


Here's a picture of my rims, I've brushed one coat of red on. Also, I bushed some white walls on there. Unfortunately the darn paint doesn't seem to dry on the rubber. I'll give it a couple more days, but I think I'll have to clean it off, and start over. Maybe I should have used latex paint.

Here are a couple pictures of the inside. I splashed some paint around in there, as it was pretty dark before.

My muffler broke in two, so I patched it back together for the time being.

I've been wrenching on the mighty 235.

Here we have the vacuum, finally running where it should be.

Here's the smoke, at idle with the engine running! I expect there'll be some rings in my future!

Here you can see all the tiny dents sticking UP in the roof! Looks to me like the roof was caved in at some point, maybe more than once!

I sure am enjoying myself working on this, and also can't wait to keep working on it, while driving it. I also polished the grill, and can't believe how great it looks, aside from the dents. There is no flaking of the chrome on the back side even, which does surprise me.
