| Ron bought this truck a few years ago from a fellow V-8er. It was fairly solid, but... | It obviously needed a complete restoration | It needed repairs to the floor... | Swiss cheese! | That's better | Under the fenders... | Check | The bumpers were in terrible shape. Could they be saved? |

|
| Check! | The Tailgate needed work | Fenders needed patches fabricated | Check | The running boards should have been replaced, but Ron wanted to give retoration a shot | It was a long process.. | Requiring lots of clamps and patches... | But Ron and Dick proved it CAN be done! |

| It's coming along | The bed needed some work | New wood for the bed floor | As good as new...maybe better | Many grille parts to this truck | They go over this frame | Ron having a great time working on his '46 (well, most of the time) | The famous "Jail bar" grille |

| Rear Fenders are ready | Fronts, ditto | Fortunately, the engine only needed cosmetic work. It ran quite well | Getting ready for the "body drop" | Getting close now | After 7 months, she's done! | Ron is all smiles in this beauty | On the way to a car show! |
