Really enjoying this.

I really love working on a truck from Florida. 21 years old and the bolts spin out as if installed last week.
As anyone from Canada or the northern states can attest, it's pretty hard to get anything done sometimes without a cutting torch. This project might actually lower my blood pressure for once.

I totally understand what you mean. After wrenching on k5's from MD, PA, and VA I had enough of dealing with the rust and rot soo, my current build project I bought from TX. I actually enjoy working on it, even when laying underneath, I dont need safety glasses a face sheild and a respirator to remove a shock bolt!
