Hey Grigg & 2-Ton,
First the answer to Grigg. My main objective was to save the truck from being crushed and that was accomplished. After getting it home I/we started tinkering with it and got it as described in story. As what I am going to do with it, only time will tell. At this point I just want to get it road worthy. I am curious as to what others have ran into trying to accomplish the same with a truck of simular condition. I have been toying with the idea of a car hauler or maybe just a flatbed for swap meets and general hauling of bigger loads. But thats all down the road.
2-Ton, thanks for the compliment and will try to keep posted whats going on. Right now it sit behind the shop waiting warmer weather. And yes I am allready thinking of K.C. in Sept. I had a bunch o fun last year!!!
