Here is a pic. Lots of welding and gabbing to do.

It was my grand dads truck.
I rode it in one time as a kid to the dump.

Wally - Looking good! Did you take pictures during the project? I and others would enjoy hearing more details on the truck.

Glad to see another Bolter with their Grand Dads truck refreshed and kept in the family! thumbs_up

Looks good! The rust above the windshield is the worst. I don't see how rusty the rear of the truck is. Mine was bad there, like yours. But time and patience overcame it. Don't think I would tackle it again.
