Wow, that was a really nice cab to start with! The bed didn't look too bad??? Did you totally scrap it (other than the tailgate)?
I have quite a collection of parts to work on while leaving my truck alone too (short fleet bed, tailgate, "new to me" front fenders and hood, and doors.) I keep telling my wife I just want a short fleet and that the other parts are to replace the aftermarket stuff, but really, all I need is to sneak home a frame and cab and I'll have a second truck
