I'm working on my Dad's old custom deluxe. It was our family vehicle since before I was born. We used to cram our family of four in it til I was about 10 years old. My Dad gave it to me five years ago and I'm slowly trying to work on. He died in March so I'm feeling sentimental and motivated to get it back in really good shape.
Things I've done so far are replace both the locking hubs, and I removed a skid plate under the passenger side tank to try and repair a leak in the tank. This revealed that the straps were completely rusted and I basically had to destroy them to get it off, so I've got to replace those too. I also need to replace the bumper and tail lights.
I'm doing this work by myself so I figured it'd be nice to join an online community of people who also appreciate these trucks. I've already learned so much from lurking the forums, so thank you for providing this space!
