Wow,Mark, you've been busy. Its looking good pal. What color have you chosen...for when you decide to paint it. Those Chevy Aluminum script bars look good on the valve covers. (I'm keeping mine for a special project)

Thanks for chcking in.

Edit: I'd drop you an email but my computer got hacked and my "IT neighbor" is going to give it a good going over and cleaning job Saturday.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Very nice job with both the truck and the video.

Thats my kind of vehicle. One thats been fixed up mechanically and the body looking like it would have after about 5 or 10 years of use. Nobody had over restored trailer queens back when these things were still working. But we kept them well maintained.
