I'm not too sure about the frame, I havn't been under there for a long time. All the jack points look ok, atleast from the top side. Major issues are the under the front windshield, doglegs, floor boards, front apron and one rear corner has been pushed in a little, but can probably be fixed.

I was told by the PO that the truck was originally owned by a dealer from Arizona. You can barely make out a logos on the doors.

Yep, I'm pretty much done Randy, couple tune up things . It I've been driving it. There's always something to do, but I'm going to get my 72' in the garage and get that ready to drive to CTS.. I would like to take the truck, but it doesn't haul down the highway like my 72' with duals and a bigger motor. I have been using the truck for work to haul stuff. Works awesome! The paint I put on the repaired areas is not that close to the rest, but I'm good with it. I might try to track down the guy that matches it and puts it in rattle can, but not on my priority at this point.

Great job Pat. Between you, Craig, Bruce, Dave (busjunky), Josh, Brad and Kirk (to name just a few) It sure seems like there are countless LEAKOIL winter projects this year. I think you finished first! The good news is spring is right around the corner. :D
