    Ive made some progress but my phone died before i could take the rest of the pictures. I need some new rims and tires. For now i have a 235 on the front off a 1978 aspen. The back two wheels are ripped off and the parking brake is rusted but works well. I have some new rust holes in the hood and the valve covers leak. The cab is rusted too far, i will need a whole new cab. Next week the bed will be removed and thrown to the side. Here is a picture of the master cylinder after a few months.

    Bed was removed. This was meant to be posted May 29th but I never got around to it.

    OKEY so... I've been trying to get ahold of a new bed. I can't seem to find one without a rusted out floor and a good one is like 3k. I also did a compression test and cylinder 8 and 4 have no compression but some how it still runs and puts down power. I have figured that the pistons kissed the valves and I will now have to rebuild the heads even though I was going to do so anyway.

    I also got a job and a little 2013 dodge dart with an accident history. Sorry for not updating, my dad hasn't been home too much to take me to my pap's and I need to order some brake parts.

    That's such a bummer... :( I understand it's a pain to find parts for it though.
