I put the black beauty up on the lift to change the oil pan a couple of weeks ago only to find the frame had been patched in about 12 different spots 2 of which i knew about the rest were hidden pretty good.. After seeing that i brought it home and thought about it for a while.. Got to looking on cl for a frame.. Found the texas truck.. Decided if im gonna do all this work it may as well be on something with no rust to start. Sold most of the big parts i had collected for the black truck to fund the paint and body work stuff.. The rest is fairly simple..

Gonna finish the strip down this weekend and start in on some body work.. Thats my least favorite part of this whole deal..

On another note. Got the 300 pulled out of storage. Carb rebuilt, new brakes on order.. Found low compression on 2 cyl which is a bummer but its gonna run for the season the way it is..
