Well I'm still waiting on my tranny,but should be done this week. I've been cleaning and painting parts
Image
Re-painted a nice set of dust shields bought from tybob
Image

Got motivated with some nice(finally)weather and went at the front of the frame.....the rust
Image
Image
Image
And then some dissmantling
Image
Image
Got it scuffed down and cleaned. So I shot the first coat on
Image
Image
Image

Going to try to get 2 or 3 coats on and finish breaking down the rest of the parts for the same
I've had enough and I'm not alone

:hmm: I've seemed to have lost time to work on it again :doh: Mostly done with all the frame and componant repainting :hd: Should be sending the block,crank and rods to the builder within the next 2 weeks. Need to get the heads from my (painful as cutting teeth)buddy...so they can go too. I'll get some pic's up after I get the rest of the front end done.

Same here Jerry. First time in some 27 years I'm faced with working while the weather permits, (got to get it done before winter). But the job and the yard is keeping me too busy! :hw:
I really need to work on my bump.... :cry:

It will get there. Shoot, I've been dabbling with mine for over four years and still do not have it back on four tires. Life is the good part. :thup:

You have made great progress on that truck.
