Thanks for the kind words. I understand the hesitation to drive it... this one probably won't get driven much, if at all, once completed.
This truck was much rougher than it
appeared to be prior to disassembly and stripping. It is certainly NOT the truck that the seller had described. It was full of putty. Even the roof was full! The rear fenders were beyond repair and to me, that says a lot. There must have been ten pounds of putty in each one. The photo attached depicts the front of the box. There was a 2" x2" piece of angle iron poorly welded in there with about a 1/4" of putty over it to "smooth" it out. Cab corners were full of putty - so much so that both the inner and outer corners were replaced.
The floor was full of fiberglass and putty.
On the bright side, the doors and front clip were very nice.
Regardless, after about a zillion hours in body work, it (body) is nearly complete.
