Hey Todd, when you said Kentucky I looked at your message board identity. I recognize BGKY as Bowling Green, KY, where I was born and raised. In the Carolinas for the past ten years, but we make it back there every year at Christmas time. I've got another Chevrolet truck buddy there. If you want to show off your build, we'd love to see how it's coming along. PM me if you're interested.
I'm currently working on repainting my '85 2WD SB. Didn't need to do the kind of metal work you're into now, but I remember some of the trucks I knew from the Bluegrass state. And if one has been sitting long enough, it can just about rust the air out of the tires!
