Hey Shayne,

Lookin' great... the F-600 panel and dash pad looks great as does the rest of the truck...
I got some spray on stuff from Summit to refresh my dash pad and visors...
I haven't used it yet. I want to wait until I get the cab repainted.. looks like it's gonna be next summer now.
I had hoped to get it done before the weather changed.

Looks great Shayne. :thup: :thup:

I know what you mean about out of room for parts. My basement looks like a salvage yard office. :lol:

My 72 is parked until spring. :(

Road salt feeds the evil rust monster and as far as I'm concerned the monster can starve.

Haven't done anything major to the truck, just some general maintenance stuff like new fuel fill hose and made a new hard line from the fuel pump to the carb a couple of weeks ago when it was warm... now it has been cold again, but when it warms up again I need to get it washed up again and take some pics of it again. Not sure when it will get something major done again, as soon as I get some other things caught up I'm wanting to get my shorty out and get started on it, but my mind changes often :lol:
Been out of work, but I have enough parts accumulated to keep me busy on either one for a long while :wink:

At least it is running good and I can use it for some dump runs and stuff and out for a drive once in a while :drive:

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...

Im amazed, i would never think that your truck had half-a-million miles on it and was owned by a logger, most of the loggers around here would buy a new truck and in 5 years i wouldnt give them over $1500 for it. Ive got a 69 highboy that was a farm truck and spent most of its life off road around the farm and its rusted from the front to the back with a special 5ft rotton hole in the bed. I might be a little late in saying but, good find on the truck.

Its looking great, Im still wanting to get ahold of an f600 cluster. No luck yet. But when the times have come I didnt have the money to get it.
