Oh I know it's coming, when does the blasting guy show up and soda blast it?
 
Been a long process but all that spray foam is gone and most of the metal it destroyed is replaced. It is time to start blasting.

That truck is actually in really good shape for being the "bad" one.
 
Full commitment. Pull the power train tomorrow. I just found this will be a 6 figure truck since it has the 1 of 1 Hi Output 225! What else could that mean?

WOW Jim how cool is that 1 of 1. Only you could have that kind of luck. The trucks are startin to look good already. You are truly a master craftsman.
 
Trip to California. First trip with the wife in years, met some new MOPAR friends, found a honey pot for my next restoration endeavors (UFOs), got some locks repaired (thanks @cudamark) and rekeyed, got a free 2 barrel for a 225, saw some cool hot rods at Full Scale Hotrods, and got rust free metal for the one truck from Troy there in trade for some A100 parts. Great week of retirement.

Thanks to Troy Martin from Full Scale Hot Rods & Customs in Ventura California my ‘69 Truck will keep a piece of his prized van that was hit to hard to repair alive. These pieces have relit the fire for getting this truck done. They will take care of so many issues that were starting overwhelm me.
