Back onto the truck project a while back. Body work on cab is done. Now I'm try to get 54 year old box sides straight. Cab should be ready for interior paint next week,then the firewall and plunk her back on the frame! Lily just had another check up 2 weeks ago in Vancouver...still cancer free! Talking to her..she is still going through hard times. She has lost a lot of friends that she made at Children's Hospital. Some update pics....

The thing is Jim we all know on this forum that you are a long time body builder on the side. Being able to lift that cab on there to me wasnt a surprise.
