So here my first question. Is my truck worth saving. The frame looks good, the motor turns over. The body is very rough. The cab floor is junk, the firewall is junk, the cab corner are made of bondo, and that's all I can tell so far, so I'm sure it get worse. Short of buying all new body parts, is this truck worth saving? I will try and link a few photos so people could voice their opinion.
I do have a background in metal working. 15 years as a machinist with some fabricating skills. Most of my welding experience is tig welding aluminum.
Thanks everyone.

Welcome to the Stovebolt. Took one look at your picture and thought your in for some fun, frustrations and success. Just work on it a little every day. As little as 15 minutes a day will add up.
The AD's all seem to be "bad" in the same places. Lots of aftermarket stuff to help you along the way. Many, many of us have put in floor pans, complete side cowls and the list goes on and on. Tackle it one project at a time.
An a tip.....post all your questions in the most appropriate forum. Engine in Engine Forum, Driveline in the Driveline Forum, paint in Paint and Body. That way you will get more and better results. Everyone doesn't check in here in the welcome centre every time they log in.
Good luck.

That's better tnan some of us has started with. Is it worth saving? Yep, just like all the rest. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 56 | Love the 5 windows.
