    Some of you might remember this truck. PXL_20260116_193812293.jpg

    We finally have enough time and space at the same time he's ready for it to get done.

    I'll try to take lots of pictures along the way in case anyone wants to see it

    That's the plan. He thought about having us build it on a modern steel frame with air ride but he said it's getting so hard to find an unmolested truck he'd rather have one that's periodic correct.

    I think that’s a good move. That was one hell of a high class ride back in the day

    Pop’s 78 A had torsion bar suspension. I enjoyed driving it, big ride in its day.


    Definitely keep the pics flowing….
