Thanks,the only bad thing about the truck is it spent the last 15 years in a fence row,but it's still a solid truck.It was running when he parked it but the squirls and rats made a mess under the hood.I got the cab and body off and the frame and cleaned and painted the frame.I also ordered all the parts from here and rebuilt the front axle.Im working on the cab now ,wanting to get it back on the frame by the first of the year.
