I was asked to start a build thread so here I go.
I bought this truck down south of Wichita Ks this spring and have been working on it most the summer.
Tha first project was cutting off the drip rail, sand blasting, leading, and putting it up. It was completely rusted thru, I pulled it off by hand.
I couldnt find a cheap enough sandblaster that would be worth a darn so I build one out of a large oxygen tank I had. I flipped it over, welded a few bungs on and a port on the top to fill it with sand and was ready to go. Cost me about $120 bye the time I was done but it works great. I just need more air volume to keep up with it.
