All the sanding later. Still needs a bit more glazing work. And lots of blocking. But it’s coming along nicely.

Been a while since I’ve updated. In all honesty I lost total interest in the truck. But I forced myself to get the truck out of storage and start getting the body work done.

Decided to shave the cargo light in the back. I’ve never liked how they look.

Lots of sanding. Primer. More sanding. More primer. Slow but steady. The driver side cab corner was crushed in from a prior accident. Getting that right is taking some time. Also getting all the body lines to line up is proving a challenge. But im getting there

That bed was a steal...
