8-2008  Front end rebuild.  The crash bent the lower control arm on the rh side and even wrecked the steering box.

New parts.  All MOOG back when MOOG was the best!

2008  Got wrecked.  If it hadn't have gotten wrecked I'd have kept it like it was but added the things I added to it anyway.

I was turning left and a woman ran the redlight and hit me hard.  for a second i saw nothing but blue sky out the passenger side window...   almost rolled over.

First two pics are phone pics  the rest are with my actual camera..  thats how old this is...

Thanks for the reminder.  I loved your restoration build.  Thanks for sharing.  I hope to continue on my 2 builds with write ups.  Life gets in the way and even though I built my dream shop it is so packed I can't work on either at the moment very easily.

Dang that was a long time ago.  I guess Chris's site has stood the test of time.  Best Chevy truck site on the web.

Life has a way of getting in the way.  I've had 3 cars since I got the truck, one crashed, ones my fav daily driver ever and one is my new project.  But the old truck just carrys on.  Only been towed twice in 48 years.  not a bad record.  one for a frozen brake caliper and one for the fuel lines rotted so bad the engine was sucking air.
