Just in process of ordering the patch panels I will be needing for the repairs on the truck.
Last week Martin gave me a spare wheel for the truck, on an original rim, but the tyre is bigger than what I want as the truck runs on 225/75-15 at the moment, so I need to find a used tyre to fit to it and remove the tall one fitted.
Tonight after work, Martin came around to measure up my relocated tank etc, as he wants to remove his cab mounted tank and have a relocated tank behind the diff between the chassis rails, and has found someone who is prepared to custom build him one for under £200.00
At the same time my buddy Scott (Jabbo) came around to pick up a vintage hotel laundry basket I had given him and to drop off four wheels and tyres from a set of 5 he recently bought for a project he is collecting parts for...... so I have wheels to roll the truck about on when I start the body work prep.
I have also managed to get in touch with Top Banana in Lynchburg, Virginia to order my parts which will be shipped to Ta2Don who will then repack and post them to me, as TB do not ship to the UK.
Thanks to Rusty in Texas for offering to take delivery and ship to me as well.
Things are starting to move in the right direction now.
