I had a thread in the for sale section titled "winter beaters" regarding my 4wd 3/4 ton and small block 2wd 1/2 ton.

Both are white, BB from California, small from block Arizona.

Big Block was complete, running, but worn out, solid body, some minor body dents.

Small Block 2wd was missing tranny, radio, solid also needed some minor body and paint.

Updated with some progress reports.

All future updates will be in this section.

Total collection is ten (10) acquired over the last year.

Five are ultimately in the parts program, five drivers or being freshened.

If curious about them see older thread, however all future updates will be here..

Tomorrow I will be doing the Final "carving " one of the parts units, will be  pile of metal for recycling, saved nice frame, doors some glass, tailgate etc.

I think I posted some acquisition pictures in other thread.

It is now pretty bare, harvested upper control arms.

I had no part in destroying this rust free western body, got it with roof and rockers cut off.

Truly a crime this body shell was cut upbangheaddunnoheadscratchShutup

Some people use chain saws to make wood look different, I use a Sawzall IMG_6195.JPGIMG_6196.JPGall.

CHOP_CHOP, too late for Jim to practice welding on, gone to scrap next day.

Kept 1/4 panel and frame, still have 4 doors, tailgate 1/4 and gate glass also.

No longer counts as vehicle, down to eight (8) however one is a rolling shell, full of parts and wiring.

Got by with one blade on Sawzall.

Now have to organize and inventory that two Burbs are now parts.

Already have 10 tubs started.

MY 2 WD is pretty close to done, that is the one with fresh tranny, radio, Lamp wiring, windshield, leather on most of front seats, complete  carpet and extra insulation.

Very nice rust free Arizona truck with a 5.3 4l60E tranny , still a couple of trinkets and add flares from another white one.

Still have to inventory two (2) 68 cars cut up in the last year.
