progress!!!!!!!!

yep

now I have an order coming from Rock Auto, one from Summit Racing, and I should be getting body/bed bolts from Slippy

 

[Vortec Lover]

Slippy's first shipment of bolts got lost in the mail, so he was kind enough to send me a second set which have now arrived

After work today I went out to the farm, pulled apart my new leaf-springs and wire-wheeled through the rust down to the--- PAINT??? haha, that was kind of a surprise

August 29th

yah and did you sell the blocks yet?

Not yet, but I think my dad is going to put them in his K5

Any progress?

Been doing ok?

Not yet, but me and my dad are going to start working on it on the 29th. His K5 is in the shed getting a new rearend put in. He's going to be getting that done, then I have a break from work on the 29th so we'll start on my truck then. Hopefully we can get her done without too much trouble. About time too.

Oh--- and my sisters are pooling their money to buy a truck as well. GMT400, of course. With dad and big brother's advice, they didn't really have much of a choice... besides, they both love the OBS trucks anyways. Me and my old man both know how to work on them, and have tons of spare parts, so they can't really go wrong.
