Holy thread revival! I may buy my old truck back...
Will update later in the week.
 
And here we go again.
Picked up the old beast, a close friend is taking it once we are done making it road worthy. Needs a radiator and a frame swap at some point.

This was my old truck, sat for 7 years!!!
Got a video coming up as well of us getting it started after all those years.
 
Oh, and the title, still under my name! Guy never registered it, merely parked it for 7 years...
 
A bit of work's been done here...trying to get the mouse piss reek out of it.
Looks awfully familiar, brings back memories.

This vehicle here is just as far gone as my diesel 60. It took a lot of work to get that rust on that vehicle cut and new metal welded in place. This here will have minimal repairs done and be put back on the road.
The interior will be swapped to grey as well.
New carpet was sourced for it as well from our fellow forum member @dnp

Got a bit of work done on the white truck this past Sunday. We took out the heavy sound deadening from the firewall and all, removed pedal bucket and all wiring so I can get it cleaned properly, to remove all the mice crap and pissy smell ot of the truck. We cloroxed the thing and let it seat, then power washed the whole interior. Needless to say, it now smells fresh.
Left it dry out with doors open for 24 hrs and put it back together. Now, when I get a minute, I'll patch up the floors so we can reinstall the interior. Will see about the quarters later. We will also swap the frame before we move further with the interior work.
Here's a couple pics after the cleanup.

The best part is the damn thing starts right up and runs beautifully!
