Here's some pics of what my husband and I have been working on for the past year. http://photobucket.com/53gmc2ton Lots more work to go and many parts to find. I did some fiberglass repair work on the floor pan yesterday and my husband took a nasty dent out above the headlight - turned out great! Will add more as we go.

Seeing your progress makes me want to get working on my firetruck.
I live in the bay too.
Do you know how the strap winches were used that are on the back of your truck? My one ton came with the same ones mounted on the back. You normally only see them on the sides of the bed.
Thanks,

Looks like your going to be visiting the Big Bolt Forum. Good luck on the project and thanks for the pics. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 71 | We haven't tried them out quite yet. One would assume that straps would have to be pretty hefty. I think you just use a bar and ratchet them down. As soon as get to fiddle with them I will surely update. Thanks!
