new project

I decided I wanted to have a project for the summer and have always liked the old trucks, so I started to look around and I found a 1972 GMC 2500 that needs work but not so much work that it would feel overwhelming for me.
















I bought the truck a couple of days ago and brought it home and now everyday when I arrive home from training I have a little project to slowly restore. I'm really excited for it!
So what does it need? well first of all it is old, it would have been old by the time I was born... but the body is in really good condition and it needs some work around the wheel wells and in the box. There are some rust patches on the body as well but nothing huge and the floor boards on the drivers side are starting to rust out. Mechanically it is pretty good. It needs new steering tie rods and none of the gauges work.. It also needs a bunch of little things but nothing major. It should be fun.

Ok I am off to do my bike training! Oh and I also deleted facebook this morning because I decided I don't need that distraction. We'll see how long it lasts..
