I think I will give it a try then, I have to wait a bit, the funds in my account are rather small at the moment. I need to purchase another ORD drag link before this.

I like your thinking sir.
aaahahahaha
Is that window stuff going to be of any use? Did you take the panels or just the switches?

Yes I'm pretty sure all of it will be useful. To be honest with you I haven't messed with any of it. I hope to get some time in this weekend, I have a few things I need to get done tomorrow though.
Here is where I started today,
Truck looks mighty lonely and untouched for awhile. I cleaned it all up but forgot to take a pic... I also put that new trigger on order for the welder.

Just went through a few hundred pages looking at pictures, I got truck fever and was disappointed I didn't get any time this weekend to work on it. Had to much stuff going on.
So I will dig up some pics for you guys to look at, it sure has come a long ways over the years.
And to the most recent pic of it.
Sorry for all the whoring, I just wanted to see some pics of my truck and I miss it.

This is the goal to have it road worthy and wheel able. We will see if I actually make it.
Whose organizing the betting pool?

I could be looking though my '68 build thread without updates instead of this reminiscing crap. Actually, gunna do just that.

I'm willing to bet you won't find any better I make it.
It actually was really cool, it was like flipping through a photo album of a family member.

You can get it where you want it. I just don't know if you should put a deadline on it like that. If you're going to do that, I think you should tow it to a good off-road truck shop and let them keep it for a few months.
Don't get discouraged though.

Was in talks last night for some help, we both seem to be on board with it. Just need to iron out the details.
Biggest thing is I don't want to drop it off and pick it up later, I want to be apart of it.

I can understand that. I would too. I'm sure you can work something out.
Got to try out the new welder torch today, it is awesome. Much easier to use and feels a lot more comfortable. the flexible neck is going to be very handy.
No real update, just messed with the welder until my arms were getting red.

On a whim I decided to page back through this thread to see when the last "real update" was. The most recent picture I found of something actually getting attached to this truck was from June 19th. 268 posts ago. Since that time we've seen several pictures of trucks that other folks own, and had numerous bunny-trails (or are they squirrel-trails?
) on topics ranging from how hot the weather is this time of year to on-board espresso machines. It just seems like this thread is determined to talk about everything except what is (and isn't) happening to the truck. Maybe it should be moved to the lounge and renamed "Baba's chitchatting thread." 
We've had some great ideas thrown up here for the truck, and I think that several of them should get done soon (BB15 is coming!) So I'm gonna repeat Adam's words:
Should be easier now that you're getting good at welding.
I agree, I wouldn't say I'm getting good but getting better.
