Dave,
Just visited your web site for the first time. Great job on the site and
also on your restoration. You are still ahead of me on the restore. I do
have the front and rear suspensions done and if the weather will dry up, I
will sandblast the frame. The cab has been repaired and most of my chrome
stuff has been done. The hydramatic transmission is going in for rebuild
this week and I will start on the engine (V8) in a couple of weeks.
