Oldblue98
I'm Awesome
That's the plan lol. I remember the day I first saw it pull into the driveway. It will be finished in my dad's memory.
Borrowed a buddy's engine hoist and pulled the bed tonight. Wasn't too difficult except my dad had messed around with the trailer wiring harness and attached a ground wire to the frame that I couldn't see. After that it was easy.

I vaccumed the dirt and rust off the frame after I took the photo. It didn't clean up bad. I chipped away at the rust on the frame and found the metal under it to be in good shape. Going to pick up some chassis saver later this week.

There is no better feeling ! I lost my son this past November and for the last couple of years he was in my care after a motorcycle accident. Our 98 started out with me and then was handed off to him.. He had lots of plans for different things he wanted to do to it, and he was second to none when it came to building cars or trucks. As he was incapacitated and in my care I started the resurrection of our old 98 in hopes he would recover and it would be a huge surprise to him to find all of his plans for it had been done. He never recovered and lost the battle Nov 8 , 2017. So the feeling you will get from that will be priceless and you will have your dad close to your heart and with you every day. So by all means enjoy your project and each step you take on it think of your dad and what you had with him .
I never open the garage and see Old Blue that I don't have a moment that I don't remember or think about my son or something we done together from the time he was a little guy to a grown man, we were always in the garage together with hot rods or projects . Enjoy and keep your dad alive in your heart and mind.
