The truck that started the process.

Now - Looking good but still a lot of work to be done

This thread made me look back at all my old pictures. It has been a long road doing everything I can myself. Still have to sort out the interior and have the never ending changes I want to make... but that is what makes this fun.

jchav62 · 01-08-2010, 10:54 AM

My '73 don't compare to these awesome trucks on here, but I'm still proud...I saved her from the crusher and now she's my daily driver...

Here's some before, during and now pics. I still have some future plans, but the $$ isn't permitting...
