The worst was the frame rails under the cargo floors, it scared most people off, plus the norm stuff, the frame was easy, as the rot did not go to the tube in the rear or the front beam mount, Funny thing Gerson had a good idea with out even seeing it, ( as far as were the frame rotted) And yes i could not sleep untill it was at my shop

Sleeping? I thought it was an induced coma he was in.

not sure if proper to congratulate or what when you refer to "a big fat baby"?

First I would like to thank Gerson for giving me this opportunity doing this build. I had a great time and learned alot. The amount of time and hard work you put in with getting the metal made correctly. for this oddball early dbl cab. once again Klassicfab has gone beyond the limits and made it possible for this truck to come alive again.
Id like to Thank Gene for all his hard work helping me throughout this build from the begining to the end. you went the extra mile many times and I greatly appreciate everything you did. I could not have done this build without ya.(next time ill pad the bed edge rails  )
Thank you Ryan for your understanding and patients while I finished up the dbl cab
Thank you all who supplied other parts for this build.
Ok I left off 2 weeks ago with finishing up the nose and front lower window channel.

Tim
congrats on finishing on time
very impressive work before-after
thanks for sharing all the pics
Gerson did you find the orig Mtag?
if not, why not make a new one, with all the added options-seal bottoms, safaris and "FG" for paint code...
did Tim grease pencil FG on that right headlight bucket?

Dave, I'm going to make a new M plate, since no one came forth with the OG one, and yeah, I will code it for the mods that have been performed on this thing, including the FG paint code ....I have the correct OG type VIN plate that I'm going to rivet on this thing in a couple of weeks..... ...this build reminds me of the European guys, HARD CORE!!!!!!!!.........remember guys, there is no such thing as "it can't be saved", this truck is proof of that......................this was probably one of the best examples of that famous phrase we say from time to time to describe a beyond rusty bus, "man that bus is fucked"........there is no excuse, all it takes is time, will and money, and someone with Tim's skill.........
