Cool truck! That cargo area is like looking inside the Georgia Dome! That's a lot of acreage to sand!

Well update 5-24-2020
Got the panel in the shop😁 had to put it on dollies to get it in the door
Angell has been busy sanding and most of the horizontal areas are left to done, darn lot of disc’s but she wants it down and not blasted soooo.
Been cleaning the interior ready for new wood from Mar-k should be here soon, cut shop backed up from 19 😩
Built stands for fenders and hood so I’m ready to pull hood this week.
Got to build seat mounts will have to figure hinges or lose the use of under seat boxes.

Two Rust spots to repair so far. Rear inner fender (looks like blow out damage) and drivers side rear corner behind fender would be fab corner on pick up. I need to find patch panel. The rear doors need a masseuse to get the wrinkles out 😝. But mostly little dings here and there nothing major it must have been SW truck but no vin so can’t trace it has AZ assigned # so that’s that.

That's going to be one great driver I'm thinking. I can see a LS series engine with appropriate overdrive tranny, all the sound proofing tricks put in place, AC, and stock suspension made like new. Then just drive and enjoy! That's just me though. Whatever the ultimate plan is it's gonna be NICE!

Good Luck,

A little puctuation, or spacing, might make that post understandable:
headscratch

Haven’t figured out the motor trans part yet

she wants to get it sanded and in primer

Before we tackle, it will have the 261 looked at
it runs great
leaks little like old harleys and puppies (marking territory)

LOL
