Latest Projects .....
Went last week and checked out a 1973 Camper special , has a targetmaster 350 older style, sm465 and a 205 t case I believe. It sat for many years in a field and the guy I got it from got it and started redoing things like the brakes, rebuilding the wheel cyls and replacing the front brake hoses and replacing the front parking brake cable. But because the bottom of all the sheetmetal was rusted so he had the bright idea to screw diamond plate sheet metal to the lower part of the sides...so he's gonna remove that and I'll have alot of screw holes to weld up.
Good news it does run and drive, but it needs tires, more like rims and tires need replaced due to em being 16.5 inch rims.

Re: Latest Projects .....
Well got her home , runs and drives great, but with the aluminum removed off the driver side of the bed I seen something bad, The knucklehead old man cut off the side of the bed and wheel well because it had a little bit of rust...If it was only as bad as the passenger side it could have been fixed with patch panels. But with him hacking off almost the complete side I'm gonna have to get a bedside from the junkyard , or find a whole bed. Run and sounds good with the late model exhaust he installed.
     He needed a piece of metal for something so he proceeded to hack it out of the best part of the bed....idiot.

Re: Latest Projects .....
Picked up a 79 to go with it...needs a engine.
         Need alittle bit less work than my 73... Also picked up a couple of doors for the 79,one new aftermarket drivers door and a damn nice used passenger door for 135.00 for both.
