I have the truck rolling, and now must work on some other projects until time is again available.  A few pictures to show my winter's work.
Ya I know I'm slow.

Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I\'ve traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren\'t paved.

Looks good.  SWMBO would like for me to do a pickup once the wagon is finished.  I might be in a walker by that time but I do like her thinking.

Looks good to me. Those are good projects. Plenty of parts sources and they usually look great when done.

Looks good to me too. Love the 5 window cab. Reminds me of my 54 from the mid 90s.

An update on the old truck, try to work on it every day.  Lot of hours in the  chevy  235.  Scratch built the carb linkage, PCV system, carb adapters,  and the front accessory drives.

I'm excited for you. :) The front suspension on the truck looks like a Scotts. Is that what it is?

You would get a lot more done if you would spend less time cleaning your shop.
What do you have, a Roomba that runs in there all day?
You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.
