Man, down here in South Louisiana an A/C is a MUST! You're lucky to need A/C no more often than you do.

Well its probably ridiculously humid around your area. I mean here there are times whel I know I'll want it, but nothings better than the 255 a/c. 2 windows down, 55 mph. Plus the a/c gives me a headache if I use it for too long. BTW I now have in my posession a syphon feed sand blast gun and a welder, so the core support will get its attention today.

You got that right about the humidity. Funny thing is, you can get used to a lot of things in your life, but the humidity aint one of them! By August I only go outside to mow the grass and go to work if I can help it . All projects get put on hold. September's not much better. It's still Summer down here.

Well I encountered another set back the other day. Since I didn't have a bed, the guy i bought the truck off of was gonna sell me the bed back that originally was on the truck. I was told he would hold it till I got the space to put it. Well when I went and talked to him the other day he kindly informed me he put it on another truck and sold the truck. Boy was I pissed.  So now I need some help finding a bed in the western PA, Ohio, MD area for around or less then $300 in good shape. Its an 8ft Fleetside. Let me know if any of you guys can help.

Small update on the progress. The rockers are welded on and the doors are being fixed right now. Interior seat belt mounts are fixed and the interior is back in minus the seat. Next is the cab corners. I am in need of some help still. I need either a drivers side bedside or a whole bed in good shape, preferably rust free, and a passenger side vent window. That is the only thing that i need for the truck to have everything to finish it. Let me know guys.
