    This is wear I am at after 9 years, two kids, house and finally getting my shop! Sorry no pre-pics, I bought the truck it was an ugly purple, someone had done an aweful restore job 20 years ago with alot of bondo, and claimed they had it running, but couldn't get is started in 5 years. With a little mechanical work we got it running and I drove it around for about 6 months before tearing it all apart. Painted Frame last winter, hopefully body gets done this winter.

    Thanks, Guys! Plan for this 50 is go back close to original. I have a 235, not a 216, but it will work for now. I wanted a 5 window, but this was the best cab I had at the time, and it had to have new floor, innner & outer cowls and some work along the windshield seal. I will keep you posted with progress, but it my be a month or two, I have to carve pumpkins this weekend and trick or treat with the kids!
