A little more progress this weekend.  I built some sawhorses so I can work on the camper shell easier.  Next week I will start to replace some rotten wood and treat the rest. image upload no size limit free upload

As much as it is costing me it better be lol.

Yep, that is what they did.  It ruined them.  It is sitting correct now though.

RTR?  Money and the wife will decide when I get it done lol.

They guy I bought the truck from bent the original I beams to lower the truck and ruined them.  So I had to replace them.

That's what I am hoping!  It would be nice to keep passing on down the blood line :-)

image post upload image free post image Decided to post our project and progress. We are restoring and building a vintage road trip truck.

Yeah  it is definitely not glued to the skin.  I already bought the wood to replace it.  I am just worried about accidentally damaging the skin though.

I just got it not that long ago, but from what I see on the roof there were some repairs.  I just don't think they bothered to fix the water damage inside.

So I pulled off the 70s wood paneling, one because it was ugly, and two because I knew there was some water damage from before.  Now I have some rotten wood fame parts to replace, any advice on how to go about it before I replace the insulation and paneling?  image hosting 30 mb imagehost

No it is just a 2wd.  Nothing more than 2wd dirt loads any.

Your dad sounds like a smart man and knows a good truck ;-) lol

Lol sounds like a plan!!!

Recently I just started building my vintage bugout truck with a different shell. I had been looking for a period correct shell for a long time but I could never find one. Then while searching the free section in craigslist I found this one in amazing shape. This goes with our truck so much...

Will do!

Thanks,  I will forsure it's n the plans.
