Very nice Bondo but I am now more interested in the land! Nice shelter belt of trees!

I too spent a load of time in a Cabover Pete.

Thanks Lakemarine and BigRig, I think its AWESOME that both of y'all ran these!!! I can't believe that so many here have ties to these trucks. I don't why I didn't get into upholstery sooner, the group here is great bunch of folks!!

Bondo, what do you plan to do with the wheels? You know I used to be a lead hand at the Blue Beacon when I was young. Looking at those wheels makes me want to wash them ha ha.

Thanks, got a long way to go but we'll get er done. I'm liking those 359's you got!! The 352 is my dad's and I have a 79 W900 A day cab with a shiny 290 and 63 model H-67 twin stick mack with 673 thermodyne in it. Dad's comes first because he deserves to be lookin neat in his air ride seat in his retired life, come on!

@John
Ain't nothin to be jealous of, I'm just an ole country boy back in the woods working in my dad's barn. . Are you talking out of California or somewhere else in state? I might can help you out if you wanted to head this direction.

@Bondo497 Ain't nothing wrong with workin out of a barn. Shoot our shop didn't have a complete concrete floor until the 90's. Shop I'm working out of was built in late 70's out of old oilfield casing and a crackerbox Lincoln welder. @John Being able to work from home has its advantages, but also has some drawbacks.

I wasn't complaining, I'm grateful to have a place of any kind to work my madness! Lol. Dad and I had to raise the roof on his pole barn so we could bring our trucks inside. I am setting up a 10×24 out building that was on the property at the house I have now for a sewing shop. I want to build a pole barn here as well cause it's a pretty good ride between dad's house and mine and I would love to just walk outside and go tinker. I think I know what drawbacks you speak of....... People show up even when you're home to talk shop when you want a little peace.
