Been real busy at work lately but I have got some work done on my slick. I have since tore all the way down to the bare frame for final gussets and welding. Bought another 65 for the cab today. My cab is pretty rusty so I found one with hardly no rust at all. Also purchased a stainless steel tilt steering column. Pics coming tomorrow.

Sorry for no progress pics in the last few months. Got real busy at work, then got I'll, then had surgery. Right now I'm laid up recooperating but will get sum pics on soon. Before I got sick I did actually manage to get quite a bit of work done on her. Shaved the wiper cowl, got it bagged front and rear, got most the body work done. I have a fleet side bed but would love to find a stepside bed for it.
