Frank sitting idle.
​​​ here's the backstory guy. Frank has been in my life since I was in the military. I got out of the military in 2013 and I couldn't find it to sell Frank. So it sat in the back on my dad's house until my family decided to surprise me for my birthday and pay for the shipping expenses to get it out from Houston Texas 2 Savannah Georgia where I now live. In the process of getting it over here I ended up rolling over the truck about 150 miles away from Savannah. Sad thing is I was already about 80% done with the restoration and then I'm starting from scratch. So here we go.

Floor boards need work





Roof needs attention!

Cutting out the cancer on the new cab.

 

If anyone has some good replacemwt metal that i can use please feel free to let me know. I would love to not have to fabricate too much. Ideas are welcomed as well.

I have in my possession a brand NEW OE Toyota roof and drip rails .. unfortunately , you are very far away , and shipping would be way to much ...

getting back at it. good to see!

 

I dont know how ive missed this one. Keep up the good work! Thats my favorite color. My 81 had the same paint code

 

Good work so far, definitely a labor of love when it comes to body work and rusty old first gens!

 

Nice work...I had to do some of the same spots on the windshield flange, pillar and floor. I was lucky enough to find an old cab that the guy just let me cut out the parts I needed instead of having to buy the whole cab and cart it home.

 

The last pic leads me to believe you are trying it in to a big R/C truck haha.
What type of welder are you using? Where did you get new floors to weld in?
