Hello everyone, my grand father recently gave me his old farm truck, it is this wonderful 1982 flareside she looks a little rough around the edges, but it was the one vehical he actually bothered to do the engine maintenace one so the motor is solid. The pics are located in my album under m profile. Im looking to start restoring her pretty soon. She is my daily driver at the moment. So enjoy the pics and get back to me with any thoughts, ideas and so forth.

yeah they are pretty sexy i got to find a way to fix those cracks and tears on the bed rails though, and i have to replace the wood of the box but most of those parts i can get from LMC truck or NPD.

Nice truck, about the only way to repair those tears would be to pull the metal back together & weld it then grind and finish. Anything worth doing like this takes time, don't rush, do it right and it is finished, do it wrong, do it over.

LMC Truck is your friend or National Parts Depot either one should have most of the parts and sheet metal you need. Nothing easier than just bolting on a brand new fender, bedside, etc....

Nice truck!
