Thanks, it's a slow process. I'm trying to juggle 3 car projects at once. Plus this daylight savings time doesn't give me anytime to work on it during the week. Next I plan to change the oil and filter, clean the motor a bit and hook up some sort of steering so I can move it around easier.

Ok, with a rebuilt starter and a cheap Autozone starter button I hooked up the battery directly to the starter. Pushed the button and it turned over. Now I'll change the oil and clean the motor a bit.

More good news. The 318 turned with a breaker bar. I had an issue with one of the spark plugs when I was messing around with the engine. I didn't want to break it so I squirted it down with some WD-40. It came out today. I also got the big fuel tank out. Had to let the J-bolts soak also. After 2...

I'll have to do some modifications to the old body. I took some measurements and it's not that far off. Nothing a little welding can't fix.

That is looking fantastic.

Ok doors are off, I was able to unbolt the roof. Will need help from my boys to take it off. Cutting out the floors and seats. So far the flame looks solid. I'll post some parts for sale here.

What a shame. I've seen so many vehicles like that. Just left to rot away.

Nothing wrong with that.

Nice!!!!!

I'm going to sell off whatever parts are good to fund this project.

That is a great looking truck. If i was looking for a truck I would be all over that.
