Hi all, This is just a brief update to the restoration of a B-1-C (3/4 ton) truck that I purchased last June. Most of the work occurs on Mondays for 4-6 hours when my dad makes the drive from Santa Cruz to San Jose to work on the truck with me. He's never owned a truck, but gets a kick out of helping me with it. One of our primary tasks has been to completely replace the brake system (will likely convert to disc down the road), and we finally got them bled well and working. We're now focusing our attention on the bed, need to completely replace wood and hardware (angle strips, etc.), weld a few bad spots, little fender work, positioned on frame, etc. Have found threads and info. from MAR-K very helpful. Also cleaning up the cab (Keven provided restored instruments) and will eventually reinstall the cleaned-up gas tank and rebuilt carb (yes, I replaced all gas lines, fuel pump, etc.). No real questions at this point, though I always pay attention to any thoughts or suggestions with thanks. I was originally hoping to have the truck ready for the upcoming bbq (a short drive from San Jose). It turns out that there was more to the job than I realized, and while it's not nearly a nice a restoration as some of you guys have done (are doing), it's still taking a while.
