This is how it looked the day it arrived via carrier from the seller in Tejas.


Bought a ton of parts from across the pond:

Picked up an 123Dizzy and a second one of everything I needed to set it up as a work truck:

Lightweight tripod and mini style prism pole.

It extends up to 5 feet long, but collapses to 2.5 feet long just perfect for this truck.

Picked up some trick rockers hope to have these in by next week, I need some spare time:

I took it to a local cars and coffee type of event, except it in on Tues. Nights. Ran into Norm (Fozzy) there.

Cleaned up and lettered up with my company name:

A little tribute to my Grandfather who passed away in 2001:

My Grandfather, George Adams and his partner in front of their Morris Van.

Now I have to admit, the rear diamond plate, deck rails and roll bar that looked like it should be on a boat, were bothering me. So I decided to get it all off...
Got the deck rails and roll bar off, an angle grinder was used at times...


I pondered how to get all this damn wood off of the poor little truck.

We are getting somewhere, then I ran out of time, the guy that was going to perform my next step called a day early and wanted the truck in his shop asap.

All the crap that came off, just the top, not inside the bed:

Hint...

New bed cover complete, now there is a ton of work to do inside the bed.

Also have a white one:

More to come.....
