OK - so my wife's ride is pretty much done. Cosmetic and mechanical restorations complete, the stereo is in. All I need to do is swap the stereo surround and then I can work on my rig (the hunter). Thought I'd postpictures as I don't often see a restored/original classics. Have also learned a lot about how very well constructed these vehicles are; was often impressed during the process.

Cheers.

Very nice ride. I am in the midst of a resto/improvement process on my 90 and it's cool to know that some one is as appreciative of the pain .. I mean fun of bringing back one of these great rigs.

Kudos !

 

Where did you have most of the rust issues. I am trying to restore one myself and just looking for someone who has dealt with what i am going through.

I have alot of rust on rear of body. probably 60% of the floor panels need to be replaced, (door sills, kick panels, tail gait areas ect.)
Let me know what you think

 

Hey guys - apologies, I did not see the responses land in my e-mail.

Rust - (with a grin) I have to admit that I had none to contend with (California car). Where are you located? I bought a parts car that is going to go to the junk yard. If you're close enough, I could work you a sweet deal.

I live in upstate newyork. I just bought a welder, flange tool, and sheet metal shears. me and my buddy are going to replace almost all of the floor and refurbish the rest. let me know if you have any tips for anything with the truck
