Man, self employment is a rollercoaster ride! We starved for a month and, now, I don't know how we're gonna take care of everything! I'm sure glad I passed up this last turnaround they called me for! Lol!!

Looks like a lot of confusion. At least you know what you are doing! Good look with this one..

I dont know if I would want my truck back after that kind of traumatic experience. Just knowing it was in a million pieces before it was 1 again. I know you do good work though.

Nah man! He's keeping the bed, 3 wheels and a fender too!

I'll try to post some more pics before I leave today. We've pretty much got everything swapped over to the new frame. Tomorrow, we'll have the motor and tranny under it and hopefully have the cab and bed back on. It's really not that bad. Take a part off and put it back on the new one.

As far as not wanting it back because it had been in so many pieces...It was in more pieces than that once upon a time and, at least this time, it ain't some lazy arse union "hand" putting it together!
