Well, its officially a frame off restoration now.. or whatever the hell you call a stripped unibody restoration.
I'm not the kind of guy to sit around and stare at it... So with an Engine Crane, some Shackles, Cargo Straps and some Sapper intuition, I managed to get it stood up on its side this morning over a cup of coffee.  This gave me a really good chance to really look over the bottom in a manner much more thorough than laying on a creeper with a flashlight.   Working my way up and down the uniframe with a body pick hammer it turns out (thank god) that the only rust through spot is right under the drivers side floorpan in a cross member. Not enough to even require a repair kit. I should be able to just cut the bad spot out and patch it with new metal.  The only other rust is just on the surface of the inside of the wheelwells from the usual road blasting. Now the fun begins......

Scotty,
Instead of adding to the "pictures wanted.." thread how about you start your own resto thread. That way it will be easier to follow your progress without having unrelated posts stuck in between? Clive

My new hobby appears to be looking for dodge pickup trucks in 1976 olympics pictures. As a result I have tripped across a M151a2. Go figure.
No grille guard and no ROPS yet. I know Scott has long completed his MUTT but the pic thread is a great thing to keep alive!

The grill mesh modification did not come out until July of 1976, and the roll cage installation was dated May of 1980. Personally, I thought the roll cages were a bit earlier, but it was a long time ago.
