Restoring a truck to daily drive?????

[Slowtruk]

Thanks for the replies guys, I agree 100% that I need to drive it.

Its already almost down to the frame, and the money I'm making on this turn-around right now I have enough to have the frame sandblasted and painted, power steering and brakes added, new steering componants, and the 700r4 is being rebuilt right now in a reputable shop. I will also have enough to buy my crate 350 and have a driveshaft made, So itll be driving. ALready have coated headers, new (original-rebuilt) radiator and heater core...I have everything to attach to the motor including new pumps and dist cap and rotor, plugs and wires, etc...new heater fan and motor, etc.

I'll have enough for all that, then I plan on having the cab sandblasted and epoxy primed, then have the bodyman start his work. He will get the cab, then the front end, then the bed, and itll all be painted at once.

Once all thats done (hopefully in 4 months) then I'll put it back together and drive her. Then I can piece things together quickly like new bumpers, interior pieces and AC one day. I'm pretty motivated and work on it each day I get off which isnt much right now with all this overtime. But I really hope to have it at least running on 4 wheels again by spring. Then like I said go from there.

I am really thinking of that turquoise and white, I had a 64 burb that color and loved it.

I think once its on the road I'll drive it whenever I want, and when it gets a chip, I wont worry , and when something breaks I'll fix it. Cant wait.
