Here is the drivers side.  When Justin started cutting the rust out on this side the cab mount fell apart on him.  Neither one of use thought it was bad, so some scrap square tube and all is fixed.  The picture with the red lines is ruffly what was cut out and replaced along with the rocker panel that was just riveted to the old rusted out one that the prior owner did.

Just a little update.  I haven't touched this truck in a while due to money troubles and troubles with the ex.  Right now I also acquired the '86 trans am that she always thought was hers.  Right now that car is going to get finished first so I can run it and see what all is wrong with it and maybe sell it in about a year or 2 unless I decide to keep it.  Once that car is done and I get back on my feet and all the legal stuff is taken care of with her I will get that truck finished after that.  I still go down once a week and fire it up to keep everything lubed up.

Wow it's been a while since I have been here.  Basically the Chevy sat for 2 years.  Now I'm making it road legal for here.  The parts list I just picked up today includes both break calipers, both front  break hoses and pads, all 4 shocks, and the left axle joint.  It's at the garage now for exhaust work and New tie rod ends and the bar they connect to.

I got the truck from the garage on Tuesday.  Wednesday I ordered seatbelt extenders and going to Napa today to pick up door bushings & pin kits.  Theone guy I know is parting out a red short bed I'm going to get the Silverado interior from it and the chrome cab trim that wraps the back of the cab under the window

Well I had a bunch of small things to fix on the truck.  So last week I went to Napa to get them.  I knew I didn't have the time last week to work on it, but I knew I would this week.  Last night I took it to Wal-Mart and grenaded the transmission.  So back to square one fixing the transmission.
