Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.
I have been working on this truck since 2019. This was purchased by my Father-in-law back in 1983, then passed through 2 Brother-in-laws, then to me. I picked-up the job of what was going to be a simple repair so it could be driven, to a full frame-off restoration.
