Well, first all the plans are to get the ENTIRE FAMILY involved in this one.

Looks like the first thing is to buy a couple of jugs of CLR and give it a nice bath, inside and out.

Immediate plans are to round up a full set of seats, and get it running with a 2000 4.3 vortec/700R4 I have laying around. This will make it driveable, and of course easy to move around while I work on the body.

Future major plans will include a '63 C-20 frame swap (which I have already), a more suitable ENGINE and possibly a double-hump dash conversion ...

When I got home from work yesterday, I started by working on hatch hinges.

They are a little stiff, so a good soaking is in order.....

This rear area is in good shape ... a little flaky paint, and surface rust ...

First soak down with WD ... I have WD in gallon form at the shop I will use later...

-
Now, needed to figure out why gate would open. Bill thought it was a rod issue...
http://i49.tinypic.com/vfeh3l.jpg
-
But after removing seat, and opening inspection cover...
-
http://i46.tinypic.com/2s0eczk.jpg
-
Quickly realized, it was just 'locked' ....
-
http://i45.tinypic.com/35bsbpg.jpg
-
Hard to tell in pic, but in 'lock', the rod pass thru plate, rather than pushin on it...
