That's one heck of a save right there!

I agree! It is a great hobby to get into, regardless of the degree that people decide to take it too.

Ah shoot, I was looking at the pic on my phone and it looked like 6. Some good stories with them. My brother has a few guitars with cool stories and he has a couple of basses that I occasionally play too. For the most part I stick with my violins and mandolins. My nicest violin is actually one that my 5th great-grandfather brought here from Germany when he immigrated. It was built in 1721, IIRC.

That 6 string bass is pretty sweet!

@gogmorgo also has a 5 speed ZJ. They’re pretty cool!

They are a neat car! Uglier than sun with the top up though. I’d still love to have one in my collection.

Is it rusty or are you ending it because of the mechanical issues. If it’s solid, I think you’d be better off selling it whole.

I love that you put PVC on there! I’m sure not a lot of catch it, but those who do probably get a laugh out of it.

My truck was from Florida and I didn’t escape the rust either. Some wheel arch work, floors, and part of one rocker. The other rocker and one cab corner was replaced due to damage.

Yes it does. The way I look at it, your time is worth something too. You’re going to have time in making the patch, trimming it to size, welding it in, and grinding it smooth before you can start bodywork. Plus, you should also sandblast it and coat it once you do get it opened up because there is going to be more rust in there. And when you blast the bottom of the door, it doesn’t look like much will be left.

I would just get a whole new door (84-96) and be done with it. I think that door is going to be much worse once you open it up.

Oh shoot. I should’ve paid closer attention

@pago cruiser, did you see these?

I’ve seen that. I suppose, if you want to play, you’ve got to pay

Let’s be honest, it would just about be a miracle if the inspectors don’t spell Comanche with either to “m”s or 2 “e”s.

Mmm, 40 GMC, I have a 40 Chevy. Any chance you have an extra windshield frame that isn’t rusty? Sorry to be off topic. I suppose your options are to replace the starter to try hitting it lightly with something to try and free the Bendix up, although the latter is not recommended.

Huh, I updated that I put the Eagle away, but I never said what I did before the Eagle went away. I got a new driver seat and some other interior trim pieces in the correct color that are much nicer than mine.

That would look pretty good!

That makes the interior in my truck look pretty tame! I dig it for sure.

Great save! Looks like a pretty solid truck. What are your plans for it?

Otherwise, the ACC reproduction carpeted floor mats seem to fit well and keep the dirt off of the carpet quite nicely. You probably don't want them if you have muddy feet often, though.

The rubber flooring isn't particularly rare. It's just what the base model trucks had instead of carpet.

Nice! I also have a build thread of my dad's 53 Chevy COE on here. They are neat trucks for sure!

Very nice. That seems to the a great size on these trucks. It seems to be a good balance between offering more ground clearance and giving a good stance without sacrificing much for performance or fuel economy.

For anyone wondering, it is the son of Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery. He does pretty cool work with the editing too. I like watching his channel about as much as his dad's.
