Well today I worked on the truck for a little while and got the doors off and the inside of the cab gutted.  Motor is just about ready to be pulled just need to take the header off the drivers side  and the motor mounts and then it will be out.  Heres a few pics of the gutted cab.

Well this weekend I got the truck down to just the frame.  Next im going to remove the gas tank and all the fuel and brake lines then its going to get sand blasted and painted.  Im in no hurry to finish this so I work on it when I get bored.  I decided Im not going to rush anything and do it right.  Will keep this updated as I get thingss finished.

LOOKS GREAT! you gonna paint it?

Yes but probably not until next winter.  Dont know for sure what color yet.  My kids want me to paint Artic Cat green and call it the "Screaming Booger"

I say go for the Screamin' Booger!

Well here is how the truck is sitting as of today.  Have just about everything off the frame that needs to be off.  The only thing left to remove is the steering box and the saddles for the gas tank.  THen its going to get blasted and sprayed with bed liner.  Heres a couple of pics with everything off nothing to interesting.  Will keep the progress updated.

Actually you really didnt do all that much.   I think that all I am going to have to replace is the drivers rocker.  I have to replace the drivers side fender only because I crushed it in we we got it air born and landed sideways on the drivers side front tire.

Ok well the project is going real slow for right now.  But here are some pics as of today as to what I have done since the last post.  I have passenger side frender, door, and tail gate in primer.  Bottom of box is in primer also.  The passenger side wheel well is painted black.  I also have started to strip the drivers side door. Which was full of Bondo.  Have no clue as to why but I think someone was using it to practice on becasue there are no dents or rust holes in it.   Probably will start posting pics more frequently now that its starting to warm up.  I was going broke buying Kerosene through the winter.  Im in need of a good woodstove so if anyone has one or knows of one for sale let me know.

progress looks great!!!!
