Disassembly Day 1

Image
Today the front fenders came off, as well as the core support.  A few bolts were difficult, one had to be cut off (used the new Dewalt grinder).  It looks like I'll need a lot of new hardware when it comes to reassembly, but the fenders and inner fenders look like they are in pretty good condition.  The hood and inner fenders will come off next.

A Little Cleaning to See What I've Got

Did a little rinse off, actually hosed it off inside and out.  Door latches are rusted so did a little work to get the doors open.  Overall, I'm pretty happy with the condition but I have a long way to go to know exactly where I stand on a lot of things on the truck.  I'm thinking my first steps will be to remove the bed.

Bringing it home

May 2nd, 2020.  Bought the truck and bringing it home.  The owner has disassembled the truck for painting, painted, then stopped before any reassembly.  Missing the seat and gas tank for sure, and I'm sure I'll find more missing.  But, I'm really looking forward to the project. Loading and unloading pics.  Truck now sits in my driveway waiting for me to kick-off the project.
