Yep it's off to its a new owner. I am stoked for the new owner and I hope he chimes in. Really want to see this one get put back together.
I got to finally see it in person and it was a killer deal.

Well it’s in its new home, but temporary resting place right now. A big enabler starts end of next week when the new shop starts to get built. Until then I’m winterizing the rig and doing some inventory. Needs a fair number of parts including some unobtanium. When I get it in the shop and start the breakdown I’m thinking of starting a “demo” thread that will help me post questions rather than a pile of separate question threads (unless that’s not considered appropriate). Then when it goes back together there will a new “build” thread. This will be a resto as much as possible but I suspect I’ll have to throw in some mods simply because of rig’s age, missing things, and rust (and skill, knowledge, patience, resources, age, ...). I’ll definitely need to expand my body work capabilities lol. Anyway, should be fun and (or at least) entertaining.

Honestly, the metal work on that one is nowhere near bad. That cab is unreal!
