There always seems to be something, but now its more riding than working. Some of it was done by professionals  , some by amateurs(me and my family)  all with great feedback and advice from the bolter! See the latest pictures in my signature!

A job well done. I would very much like to see it in person. I have a 1 Ton 47 (3800) with a nine foot dump bed. It is solid red, but I gotta say, I prefer you color scheme to mine. Thanks for sharing photo's.
God Bless,
Hal

Grandpa (The previous owner) was amazed as we took her for a spin. Said "Never thought I'd see the old girl back on the road" No all I need is 3.73 gears

Remember they are never really completely finished as there is always something that needs to be adjusted, repaired or replaced... :-)
