Project 70 truck begins
« on: June 11, 2011 - 07:46:40 PM »
After cleaning a load of stuff out of the back, I took a bunch of pictures of the start point. This old truck seems like it is mostly there. Take a look at what I have to work with. This is the way I got it.

Plans right now are are a good cleanup and get it running again. I can't find the dang keys either. That means a locksmith may be needed. I'm going to put that new powder coat system to work on this thing too. I wanted to put some before pics out so you guys and gals can all follow along.

I'm thinking a restoration of this one for the long tern goal. It is just still so original and I think it should be kept that way.
