[OutlawDrifter]

Failed on good pictures of the load carried home. Needed some shop therapy yesterday, so I straightened some things up and started working on the GMC. Pulled the seat and cleaned out 68 years of mouse. Under the seat of the truck it was just 1 solid mouse nest. The tank had some fuel left in it, good ol' leaded stuff from 1971, probably could have ran the truck on it. Wiped the gauges off. They look really good. 24k miles showing, probably most of it in a pasture fixing fence. My dad used to ride on the driver's front fender with a hammer and push on the posts as they went by, my uncle was the usual driver. They were probably both under 10 years old. I also took 5 minutes and pulled the clutch fan and AC compressor off the 6.0L.

Picked up a 1994 S10 ECSB frame last week. Once I get the cab and front sheet metal off of Francis, I'll turn my attention to getting the frame stripped down and front end rebuilt on the S10 frame. My father-in-law reminded me he has a V8 round body Explorer sitting in his "bone yard". He bought it for the 302 w/GT40 heads to go in one of his dirt track cars, but the rear end might just be what I'm looking for.
