That is a long way, but picking up an EB is worth every mile.

Thanks With three drivers in the truck it should be a hoot! I shopped around a god bit and lost a few deals collected some great parts (One of which is a very nice rolling chassis from a 72 that I may not need) this truck has many extra parts and the price paid is less then the lift, brake upgrade, stainless brake lines, radius arm drops, and so on, I will post pictures when I return, and I am sure I wil bring back some cheese!

I would like to patch the gapping hole in the top of the drives side fender I have never seen them rust like this so I was wondering if someone had a rusted fender bottom that had a good top, Please offer your suggestions, Thanks Bo
