That frame looks rust free. Where did it come from?

Ouch... that's a sore point. Not rust free... actually worse than I expected, and has gotten worse in the 2 years I've had it sitting here. The West Virginia salted roads did a number on it, but it is better than others I have... the rails are decent, I may reproduce/fab new cross members, the rear one for sure. Looks great from the bed forward, clear line at the front edge of the bed... what was under the bed is much worse.

I'm sure he appreciates your encouraging words! :confused2:



Keep working on it when you can, DieselCrawler! It'll be pretty cool when it's done.

DD... no need to apologize... its simply a fact of the matter. I'll work around it.

02tj, radios1 has a valid point... I don't have the time, as the lack of progress makes very clear. I've been off work this week, scheduled months ago... was planning to focus on this project. No luck, other obligations got in the way, like cleaning out a shop/garage I sold nearly a year ago, new owner has been very accommodating, letting me have time to remove my stuff... but called last week, needs the space. So, once again, no truck progress.
