More Parts!
I think it is important to mention that this will not be a "body off" restoration project. If you just like shiny paint check back in a few years, this thing is gonna be ugly for a while, why? I will be using this truck while I am working on it, what that means to you? I will be spending my weekends and downtime to work on the beast and blogging frequently about not only the repairs but the adventures using the truck as a truck. The catch is that I do not have the luxury in time, space or money to just rip it apart and build it from the ground up with all new parts, thats where most guys mess up in my opinion, lack of resources, but excess ambition. THE PARTS: From Checker auto, we need to first get this truck registered and street legal. Picked up new headlights, brake bulbs, some marker light bulbs, upper radiator hose, an in-line fuel filter, 2 gal. oil, oil filter, wiper blades, air cleaner gasket(mine was missing) and Trish picked out a nice air freshener for it, the truck smells like mold in the cab...yuck.
