Silence does not mean lack of progress, just routine bodywork I'm sure would bore you.
That said, I've completed what needs to be done from the back to the cab, inside and out. Weather permitting I will prime it tomorrow then nose it into my workspace to do similar patching and straightening for the cab. Oh, and weld in the bins. I SO want to weld in the bins. Side project is replacing a piece of the rear right fender that someone chopped off. |

Now primed, the back end anyway. Putting the bins, wireless table, etc. in (placed, not welded) was a frivolous, unnecessary thing but I just had to do it.

Looks great Bruce. I can’t wait to see your truck setup beside my truck one day.

Rear fenders are on and running boards repaired, straightened and patched (there was a torched 'bite' out of one and several bangs and broken welds; the old girl led a battered life). I had sandblasted these decades ago and they required cleaning up with a cupped wire wheel on my 9" grinder (the one tool that still scares me).
The rear fenders are ambidextrous which allowed me to choose the best ends where they would be the most showy, and so hiding any flaws in my replacement patch. Oh, and dem baby bins are well and truly welded in!!!! |
