Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Back at 'er the last couple days.

Made a to-do list on a hunk of cardboard courtesy of ROADKILL.

Should have the drivers side cab rust repairs done this week. Then finally moving on from cutting and welding!

DEISS... I have owned coil and leaf sprung 67-72 trucks over the last 30 years. I prefer the coils over the leaves. But this will be the first coil sprung truck that I have actually lowered with lowering springs and not cutting or heating the springs. So it should be a bit different.
