Looking good Navy
Nice work sir!
Very good .
Looks great!!!! This is the time when all the hard work and attention to detail starts paying off!! Well done!
Thanks guys ! It sure is hard not to miss any spots, just when I thought I had it all covered I'd find another spot.
A little closer to getting this truck rolling again. Front end all done or so I thought. Had it all together and when I went to grease the ball joints grease came out around the crimped shoulder of the disc where the fitting is screwed in. This wouldn't be a big deal but the darn thing was welded and painted and the whole suspension was together. I took it apart welded the the seam of the ball joint, put in it the lathe and turned it a bit to clean it a bit. Installed the joint, sand blasted the area of need and repainted . I'll install it tomorrow.

Started to assemble the truck one more time to fit all the sheet mrtal and install hood latch and door latches. First thing I ran into was tire and inter fender clearance. Here's my fix's.
