Calms me down just thinking about it!

It's strange how all of this reduces stress. My wife says "you care about the truck more than me". I said "yep" it doesn't talk back, but it will bite occasionally.

Nice looking project. Stick to your plan or it will never end. Come to think about it, does it ever end.

Looks to be an awesome project. Best of luck and welcome to the board from SE New Mexico

Bump:

Scored some Slummit drop spindles today. Uninstalled, used, $100.

Hell yeah!

Bumping this old thread to see if anyone has seen my old 'Burb?

She's a '66, obviously. And I sold her to a young guy from Salem, Oregon who put a 283 in it and a tired T-5. It had some brown primer spots, too.

I randomly saw it on a trailer one day. Either heading east on I-84, or North on I-5. Don't recall exactly.

I'd love to buy her back, or at least see where she wound up!

Anybody know anything?

Long shot, I know....
