OldIHC

I've now finished selling all parts of the dakota im.not using and have actually made $20 over what I paid for the whole thing! My frame and running gear are officially free.

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, Free at last!"

A little humor and a lot of enthusiasm for your position.

Nothing super photo worthy this weekend. Had yard work to do. I did finish the last cab mount. Started mocking up steering. Looks like it's going to line up really well. Pulled the seat so I can get the old rats nest off and some new vinyl on.

Got the cab all cleaned out.

Found a cool metal build sheet stuck to the inside.




And look how nice these doors shut.

Things will gradually slow on the build. I'm at a point where I need glass and seals to continue. Funny how the little thing are much harder and more costly. I have a solid body on a solid frame with a running engine and transmission. I am only in the project about 1300 bucks. I'm not painting the truck so that's a huge savings, but all the little crap that's left is about $5k worth of parts plus my labor!

Do you have a box for it?

No. It was an L160 grain truck. I was just going to put a flatbed on it.

Started getting the wiring in and was drilling for the master cylinder but my harbor freight hole saw thought otherwise.

Progress! Pedals hung, booster on, fuse box mounted, pilot bearing in...

Great progress!!
