    Welcome Ruger!
    I enjoyed your pics. Looks like you started with a fairly solid truck and you are moving steadily in the right direction. It is easy to reach a point where you walk away when one is disassembled. Just hang in there and keep up the good work.

    Yes I am keeping the 216. I plan on using the truck for sunny weekends with the grandkids. I am converting to 12-volt and as you can see modern radials. Other than that I will be keeping it original looking.

    Looks like we're about in the same stage. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! What color are you going to paint your truck? There is a simple paint method you can use using to foam rollers...
