Sounds like a whole lot of WORK!  And you need to capture it in pics as you go so you can show your kids how important this truck is to you.

West Coast or towing mirrors?
I guess changing was useful if your truck spent much time backing trailers up.

I really look forward to seeing all you're doing with your truck!

Nice high bay workspace!  

What kind of dolly do you have under the bed?

Yeah, my son is going to want Big Blue, he just doesn't know it yet.  But his sister could drive it as it is a manual and he never learned that.  

Anyway, good work!  But more pics, please!  And, make them bigger?

I need to do a corner patch, just like yours but probably pull the tail lamp opening down again.
The bed is coming out nice!  

Always a challenge to get body work and paint done in winter.
