I'm jealous Dan, but you've got your work cut out for you, but yeah, I'm still jealous. 2nd owner is pretty sweet on an old rig like that one. Where'd you find her? Edit: just saw Martin's post.

What a find. I'm speechless. that's rare.

Not for sale I assume.

You know it's old school when the second place she tanked up was Haney. No one calls Maple Ridge Haney anymore, bet half the people living there don't even know what Haney is.

I saw that too. Grew up in Haney; never could understand the Maple Ridge name though.

Oh, nice find Dan!

Looks like you skipped a few steps in the write up! Hopefully you took some good pics of the cab work, I love more reference pics for when I tackle my Canadian 78, there are very few good reference pics that I've seen for these 75-78 Canadian trucks

Haha sure did. We started the build of March 2022. Took it down to the frame and sent it off to the blaster.

Continued on blasting all sheet metal. I replaced the factory(rusted) box with a very clean origional steel unit. Unfortunately the cab was beyond saving and we purchased and aluminum tub from aqualu
