My latest toy
I thought I posted on this before but can't find it anywhere. Back a few months ago I went out looking for a new project. I found this I've had a few before and they are nice when done. I have already pulled the bed and took what was left to the scrap yard. All the rear frame and suspension is now done except for shocks. I have cab corners rockers and parts of the floors to redo. Chris asked if I hated myself lol. It has a 307 in it now may stay that way but picked up a few 350s with 4 bolt mains the other day just to speculate. Seeif I post this I will be forced to work on it.Charlie

I do remember you "picking this up".. and I wanted to ask (harass) you what happened with it... but I was being polite!
But now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak....

Not making excuses but this past few weeks I have been getting my wood shed filled up. It holds 12 cord.Today I split 2 cord by Thursday I should be able to get back on the project. It will be getting P/S & P/B. to start.

Your truck is a mix of parts isn't it? I see 72 doors, the 69/70 grill, and hood.If you need power brake brackets, I have an extra setup I could make you a deal on.

It is a 72 but that's the way I got it. I already have power steering and power brakes for it along with all the sheet metal floors rockers corners. I hate starting a project then having to wait for parts. I got the right hood a couple weeks ago. The bed I got back in a snow storm ha ha. Its been sitting on my car hauler since then.
Don't look like much is done but I am by my self here and unloaded the trailer in the rain.Charlie

Will do!!!!!!!!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
