Truck is home at last...
-
After waiting a year, I was finally able to get everything in order to bring my truck home. It's been sitting on my trailer in my brothers garage 700 miles away since last July. My 9 year old daughter rode up with my on Friday, we spent saturday visiting and getting everything loaded, and drove back home today. It was just under 1600 miles total. I borrowed an older F350 dually which pulled it beautifully, but I haven't totalled up the gas reciepts yet:)
Hopefully I can try to get in running in a week or so, we have company in town all week.
Sorry for the grainy picture

Wow! Worth every mile. No matter what the price of gas. Congrats...

Beautiful restoration candidate and it doesn't appear to need a lot. Or you could just get it running and enjoy it until you want to pretty it up a little more.

That's pretty much the plan. I need new side window glass, tailgate hinges, and a battery.
Aside from that I need to to get it running, service the brakes, trans, and diffential. The previous owner used bondo generously to smooth out the sheet metal but it doesn't appear to be hiding any rot. At some point I'll start removing that, but I plan to start driving it pretty much as is.
