Since the last post we made a couple of changes, noticeable changes. It seems the time is split between the garage and the truck. A little here and a little there, but definitely noticeable. Farmer, Jeff and I boxed in the front cross member. Can't tell that, but we removed the front and rear axle so that the frame is sitting on jack stands. We are very close to taking the frame down to get it powder coated. The leaf springs are off and are ready to be re-arched. I now have another front axle, from a 1976 F-250, because it has front disc brakes and a higher pinion (front differential). Should match up perfectly. There are other parts I can use, we will see in the near future. As for the garage the East end is closed off with a wall. Next is the loft, then the West end with the 12X12 garage door. Oh and Skip and Chris came to help, We needed them to help lift the frame off the axles. My word it was heavy, Little by little, here are some of the pictures.

Let me just say, I am very grateful for family and friends who help me get things done. It is in this that I find joy. I give thanks in prayer everyday. Until next post, Viya Con Dios.
