Hello I just thought that i would let you guys know what you have been helping me with . My truck is a 1973 w200 . It was one of my best buddies rig.[it was his toy] About 10 years ago he lost his life in a industrial accident. The truck sat for many years and was getting very rough shape.About 4 years i was looking at buying a older truck to play with. I had looked at a few , but my friends wife decide to give the truck to me .We are best friends. Over the the years i have been slowly doing a body off resto . Man its been allot of work ! I petty much had a frame to start with. Its been fun and a great learning process. So far i have strip it to the frame , weld in new floor pans and made some , cab corners ,front suspension, i even had to weld on a new roof skin the rain gutters rotted out the roof, found a box in texas, all frame crossmember had to be replaced {made new ones**,all new brakes from front to back, hours and hours of body work, I even painted myself 1st time for me!The only thing that i have not done was rebuild the engine i let the pros do that ,they hopped it up a bit .sprayed in a box liner, Next to is the interior and finish putting the front end togther and rewiring . Once again THANKS for the help. Jon
