Dust it off and tear it down

We arrived in Fort Stockton last night and this morning went out to uncover the truck from the 20 years of dirt   and mom's variaty of discarded items.

Yea, that is a iron spoke wheeled garden plow on the hood.  During the process I realized that it was exactly 20 years to the month that my dad and I hauled it back from San Angelo.  Some of the miscellaneous paper work we found inside proved the dates.

We hauled the truck over to Joe's shop with a dent side wrecker.

Note the hair ball dead center of the roof.  Nice.

 We pulled out the 440 Chrysler and installed the DJM lowering beams, refurbished disc brake spindles, new shocks, bushings, etc.  In a nut shell the front end was completely rebuilt by Monday when we hauled it back to mom's where it will wait until I can come pick it up.

That's me posing with Stinky and the hair ball on the roof.
