Progress.



I wanted to get the truck deck sandblasted and painted however the original deck was modified by the PO for the tow truck rigging. They had cut the wheelwell and lowered them down for a flat deck. They really did not waste anything as they used the original wheelwell material, this gave me an original pattern to work from.

I cut the wheelwell out from the deck and then took them to make a new ones. This weekends job is to weld them in.

I also took a compression test on the motor I am planning on using. It was pretty consistent so I was very happy with the results.

I am working on the truck deck and removed the front angle iron that the PO had welded to the deck, it was covering up a a lot holes that were hidden under, all evenly spaced, looks like the original bolts were blown out with a torch.

Would anyone have an idea what these holes were for??
