I guess an update is way overdue, huh?

I took River to a body shop shortly after my last post and they said the frame looked fine. So rebuild it is!

I have a friend who is letting me use their shop as much as needed for as long as needed. Hopefully the truck will leave my back yard next week and end up there.





Everything on the truck higher than the frame that is not interior parts is for sale, as most of it is wrecked and all of it is getting replaced, prices are crazy cheap! 

Next up... Parts!

First thing I picked up was a cab from a 2010 Ranger. Amazing condition with preventable surface rust on the rockers. Then I dropped it when removing it from the trailer and messed up the rockers, so I will either bend them back if able or be forced to replace them.










Then, I accidentally bought a 2004 hood at the junkyard



Now all I need is a bed, doors, and fenders. And a few days to paint/weld/assemble.

In the meantime, I am driving Kevin, the 1988 Nissan Pathfinder!
