Yes, sorry about your friend.

Looks like a nice rig. Just do what you can as time and money allows. Start with the most basic repairs to get it safely on the road again, and enjoy it in his memory. You may want to keep it as is, or go full tilt with it.

Keep us posted with the progress.

And welcome from Newfoundland ✌️

Welcome!
Rewarding project for sure. You’ll be able to drive it proudly in honor of your friend!
Looks like a nice truck!
If you have questions this is the right place. There’s folks on here that know more about these trucks than you could ever imagine.

Is one side all blue and the other has a stripe?
Also I’d put a brace on that hood pronto before it folds up on you. Looks salvageable still now. Hate to crease and crack a good hood…

welcome @chrischobo sorry to hear about your friend. My story is not all that different from yours. I got mine from the wife of a friend that passed in 2018, mine was a runner though it had sat in his final years. Welcome aboard!

Welcome sir. You're honoring your friend through your actions. I can only hope someone would do the same for me. Most, if not all, of my friends aren't really into vehicles like I am.
