Great progress

Been a while, so hello again. lots of little jobs done, new parts sourced.

Recovered the seats, more painting, some new (old original) wheels. Plus got new brake cylinders and master, just not got round to fitting them. Will upload some pics soon - mainly in my instagram now.

Just cold in sunny UK, truck gets fired up for 15 / 20 minutes every 3rd weekend, starts no issues.

As soon as we move back into spring more jobs to do, mainly painting inside cab and rear bed, wheels off and sand down the drum exteriors.

Wow, I am jealous, I need a rig to tow my rig

Looking good!

Superb!
