[1963c-10]

And got a little bit more work done yesterday. Just hanging some sheet metal so I can get a bolt count on what I have/need and what sheet metal I have.

The back bed panel needs replaced as does the tailgate. They are both there, but far more damage than I want to deal with. Bed sides are nice and straight. Wood floor is gone and metal has been installed, but all crossmembers are there. 2 supports will need replaced. All cab supports are solid as is the front end sheet metal. Cab pillers and roof look good, so for $500, $75 trailer rental and $80 in fuel we have a new 63 in the family herd.

Really don't have a direction on it yet. Just want to reassemble to make it a complete truck for now. At some point it will all need disassembled to take care of the frame which is solid, just covered in surface rust. Has a great patina, but eventually it'll be repainted too. Put a 67 bench seat I had in it for now. Something to sit on to finish cleaning up the interior. I have a grill support, radiator support and a grill. And quite a few extra parts still in the bed. Will need back bumper and brackets. Will also need a battery tray, back bed panel and tailgate. Rest should be covered.

Starting to look more like a truck now.......no engine & trans....but that's no issue. Probably did me a favor.
