    Nice thread, and quick work on your part! Wish I'd gone with a donor frame vs. kept the original in my old Ford. Maybe if I ever retire I can get a fancy roller frame made for a 48 F1 and then not worry about suspension and steering!!!

    I feel the same about Rita. I am finally happy with the steering and suspension but it should not take 5 years and 20K miles to figure it out.

    Rita is waiting patiently on Rusty while brain surgery is getting performed . I lengthened the ECM wiring so I could put it inside the cab. 52 wires to lengthen and I decided it would be best to solder the connections on this part. It was getting too full under the hood, it turned It was a little overkill on the length but that's OK. It's kind of neat they are both 53's turning 70 this year.

    Nice shot of them together. Whatever you do to the wiring still has to be better than what dodge did. Their wiring in that era of that dakota sucked bad.

    Pat, nice to see you back on here. I was wondering how you had been the other day.

    Are you sure that's what its called? I didn't find anything that looked like he was involved with it. I did find some rapper that used that title though.

    Doing good, guys. I appreciate you watching the channel! It must be torture to look at my ugly mug in live action so I guess the work must be worth watching! Here's a link if you couldn't find it.

    Seth, now you need to build a 53 Ford truck so you can have all the big 3! Of course then you need to start on an International and a Studebaker to have the full set......

    It's funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing A few years ago I just missed a 53 IH that got turned into lawn art, not sure if you remember when I posted about that. They seem to find me.

    I love watching your van/pickup take shape, that is the most interesting project I've seen in a long time! Your devotions at the end do more good than you know

    I started watching the 69 GMC play list. Great job putting out those vids. I have wanted to start a youtube channel but just never take the time to do it.

    Thanks, guys; I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. It's a lot of fun putting them together and a great platform to minister The Word.

    Rusty got put in the dreaded to be continued spot today, I was hoping to drive it this summer but it's not going to happen. It moves under it's own power but the list is too long to finish. I was hoping to get the glass in and let it sit outside for the cab to rust some more naturally, but Rita needs a few things before summer so does my 3rd Gen and we are putting up a new garage this summer so I better switch gears. It will be a nice project for next winter though. i couldn't help but put on the different rims today , I think the tires could be a bit shorter though.
