New guy from Dekalb,IL
« on: November 19, 2010, 11:45:25 am »
This was my 1978 3/4 ton 4x4, 454, TH400/205, D60/Corp14. That got wrecked 5 years ago.

Its been sitting in a barn since. I just bought a 1980 one ton SRW 4x4 to rebuild it. I am going to start a thread so people can follow along. Pictures of the first build to follow.....R.I.P.
