The rendering got finished. I'm pretty excited to get the truck looking like the pics.

Thanks Mike. I get the "interesting" truck jobs too. :LOL: On some brighter news, I am having a rendering done on this truck. I'm excited to see it how I envision it.

Almost another month goes by and no more real progress on this truck. But, I did manage to get my 4 new windows replaced in the house and 1 in the garage. I have almost 1/3 of the leaves raked up and...

Roger, I'll have to look into that. My mom rented him a hospital bed so he can stay down stairs. Their room is upstairs and he was having big issues before he had the surgery. I'm sure that hospital...

Not a lot of big progress on this truck. I have drove semi the past 2 saturdays, and been working 50hrs plus Monday-Friday at work. I've been slowly getting things ready for winter too. My Dad has...

Thanks Roger. It sure is a handful at times. :LOL: It sure feels like I never get enough done though. The better half really wants the fence done too. Sheesh, that fence guy is a bum. Oh, I'm that...

I've been busy selling more extra stuff to buy parts for this truck and to get new gutters and some windows for our house. Here's a little update on the truck. I got the new wheels for it, and got...

Things aren't progressing as fast as I'd like, but things are going forward. We had a water leak in our up stairs bathroom that turned into ripping out the kitchen ceiling and replacing a line. This...

:LOL: It isn't a big block though. Haha

The weekend went by too fast. The car show I put on each year was on Saturday, and Sunday we had family from Texas over. I didn't get the truck home either. But, the plan hasn't been changed, just...

:LOL: Are you coming to the midwest again?

My wife is ready for another kiddo too. I'm okay with that, but it'd be nice to have 2 more potty trained first. :LOL: I'm running out of arms the way it is. Haha

This weekend the 72 is going to storage and the 76 should be moving in. Time to get it home so the fun can begin!

Yes sir it has. :LOL: Thanks, hopefully it isn't an early winter. You never know with how unusual the weather has been lately.

So now I'm compiling a list and working extra to get the money to buy these parts to get this truck going. I already got the gaskets and seals I'll need for the engine too. Here's a list of the big...

The front doors were thought to be GM's when we originally restored the cab. It turned out they were taiwaan crap. I sourced some rust free ones and stuck them on. This kind of brings us to current....

Here it is as the crew cab short box. I still have to box the frame where I spliced it, and I need to reshim the cab. I haven't done that since I removed the body lift. I also rebuilt some engine...

I also decided to make it a short box. I figured why not? I've never owned a short bed truck and it would help in parking lots.

Well, I had to get the truck back to a practical user. This was around the time we found out my wife was pregnant with my daughter. I decided to bring it down from the sky, and get it to reality. Haha

During the process preceeding our home purchase, I sold a lot of things. One of which was my only running and driving 4x4 truck. I had planned to get the 72 to drive until the winter. I don't want to...
