78 Chevy project never done!

Well this is what I started with it was a pretty clean 78 Chevy 1/2 ton that was left to me from my grandfather when he passed away. I always remember him driving this truck and he owned it forever so I decided to build a truck that I would never want to sell and keep it in the family. Well I rebuilt the truck about 10 years ago with a pieced together air ride system and about a year ago I decided that I wanted to tear it back down and redo the truck for one more and hopefully last time. so I will post pics from the start 10 years ago to the 2nd tear down to current progress. I must say it is a painful long process.

10 years ago

The braces were to low after putting in the drive line so I had to cut them back out and raise them up.

Well I messed up on the frame and have to start over so I found a good parts truck. I will have it sandblasted and get started again.
