He passed away about a year ago and it was running shortly before then. I have always worked on my own stuff and done some body work but this is going to be a big project and learning experience for me. First step is to get to the garage. Hopefully in the next week or so it'll be here.

Too bad about your grandpa. These trucks outlast their owners, good that you acquired it. This is a great site to learn stuff, all you have to do is ask. Good luck.

You will find this site a great resource.

It looks like a solid truck. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2016 Posts: 70 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2016 Posts: 70 | Thanks guys! I'm excited to be here and get to work. I'll be asking lots of questions...after searching here of course! Live about 30 miles South of Louisville. Truck is in decent shape. Been in the barn for a long time. Normal stuff like cab corners are rusted pretty bad and the floor board is rough, but most of the body is good. My big concern is around the rear window and the small corner windows. Pretty rough shaper there as well. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | I would be excited if I could open your link, still a big welcome
