I appreciate it greatly, I’ll take some more pics when I get home and I’m excited to start on it, luckily my wife is extremely supportive and loves the truck

Everything in your statement is all the more reason to just do it.

That helps. You have no idea on how much I have lied to my wife over the years building these trucks. "Yes honey that is on sale, I can get it now and save some money or I'll pay full price for it later" and it's not on sale...

My son is active-duty USMC, thank you for your service. Your truck looks like a good project to me. Start with the basics and have fun with it.

It’s got Michigan rust (rockers, cab corners, and a little more throughout) the guy who had it before me ripped the smog pump and etc. out and it’s pretty cobbled together under the hood, aside from that the body is straight, and it seems to run well, I will take more pictures tomorrow.

Here’s more photos, I have new vent windows for her, and a passenger side wheel well, among other things the previous owner cut a hole in the door to access the window motor, neither of the windows roll down, and I’d like to figure that out here soon, the patch on the frame I plan on fixing right as I’m a welder/ fabricator by trade, the body work is mostly what is intimidating to me as I have no idea how to do it or where to start
