I towed the truck home and got started stripping it down to the point to were only the cab remained on the chassis. I also evaluated the sheet metal situation at this time. The cab is in pretty good condition with the exception of the typical areas in need of repair due to rust. The areas are the rear cab corners, the steps and rocker panels are not that bad but will be replaced. The front fenders need repair or replaced and the bottom of the doors. All in all its what I expected. The bed sides are trash but I knew that when I before I brought it home. I saw a 58 with a modern bed that I liked I may or may not go that route it depends on were the build takes me. After all this will be a street rod. Along with the purchase came a nice 350 crate engine that is fairly new. A while back I brought a 700r4 at the Pomona Swapmeet for a little more than nothing and I'm going to have it rebuilt for this project. |
