I see Tumbleweeds ☠

Took her out on the COVID Cruize last nigh. She runs starts right up. Expensize tumbleweed for sure. My Wife is on board (for now) so Steady progress for sure. She even chipped from her cash hoard to buy the wheels and tires.

Crack a beer. I think this will be a lot of Beer project. My next door neibour has a built Tacoma so we are always looking at projects gauge them in the number of beers it will take to complete. "that's about a 4 beer project." Hahahaha thanks and Cheers.

The pig is probably one of only a hand full of vehicles that the standard beer = so much time equation simply doesn’t apply. However the take one step forward and two back equation almost always applies so we have that going for us..

FYI: my two pigs would have turned me into a proper alcoholic using the standard “BEER = time method” if they didn’t cost so much money to complete (buying pig parts = lees beer money) so again I have that going for me!

This one's been sleeping for awhile in my shop (2 yrs since started) but getting motivated to dive in and give it some love again, been chasing some parts and advice here lately;

1979 with everything still on it down to the emissions. Power steering truck and hopefully functional air soon. Here it is after a little primer in the carb purring away, all systems go;

Congrats! Rust free donor bodies are hard to come by. May end up having to either patchwork this one or buy another less rusty 55.

Definitely gonna do whatever it take my friend. She is worth saving, a true pleasure to drive and own.

Excellent attitude! Looking forward to your build thread and seeing what you do.
Do you know the Mud handle of the PO?
I remember seeing someone show some pics of a tire carrier rear bumper built like that but cannot dig up who it was. Wanna say they were from somewhere in the PNW.

Congrats; nice looking pig. It all looks repairable from the few photos you posted. Rockers are probably the most critical.

FWIW, an 8274 needs a few inches more room in front than the OEM bumper set up (unless you have frame extensions which you don't) so keep that in mind when looking for a bumper.

I would think there are lots of options from Vintage Air and similar companies for a crate 350.

Thanks for the note! Just picked up the 8274 this weekend and looking forward to getting a simple C-channel bumper fabbed up with the extensions you're talking about. Thanks!
