Man, what a nice truck. The work you're doing is top-notch.

Wish I had a fraction of your know-how.

Thanks for the compliments,its been a tough process.I was working on a big learning curve.I've enjoyed the whole resto so far ,things will slow down a bit because I think I have a job starting up in a couple weeks (60-70)hours a week till fall.I will try to get some work done on it during the summer but I'm pretty dead when I get off work.(51years young and it takes a while for me to recharge).

Great work !! Looking at the earlie pics I'm not suprised at the amount of work you've done. Once you've torn into a "little rusty" Bus, you learn fast how far that rust spreads.
My 1st Doublecab was all red, love that stock color.
Paint it whatever colors you wan't, your the one spending the time & $$$ on the truck ! Laughing
