Overview
Build starts on post 34. Asked for these to be merged but it seems they got merged backwards. no biggie....
This build was started because I was given the truck. My wife's uncle knew I missed my old 77 and he couldn't due to health reasons climb in any longer and wasn't able to work on it.
