The cab and hood are in excellant shape. To bad everything else was rusted off...
I am still planning to run the verticle stacks behind the cab, sorry. That's how I "see" it though. I have the truck pictured in my mind as it will be finished and that is how it is... Patina'd red cab, verticle stacks, flat bed and I am using my pro street tires and wheels to give it a "dually" look...
I have been puttering on it after I get home in the evening. I have cleaned up the front brake corners and painted the spindles, rotor hats and calipers. I also started installing the front springs last night while the paint was drying and decided to pick up a single action spring compressor. I tried drawing down the springs with a piece of 1/2" all-thread rod through the spring pockets but didn't like the "geometry" the rod was seeing... Too much power there to mess around with.
Thanks for looking
