My dad bought this truck in 2000. I used it as my local fishing vehicle until about 2006, after which it got parked.
I went to fetch it at the end of 2019 and started working on it. Slowly. I really only got to it in August this year. Busy taking it all apart to change color and also weld in new metal pieces where the body is badly rusted.

This was about in 2006

Busy on chassis below cab
I am currently busy to weld some new pieces of 3mm sheet into the loadbin. Also going the route of power steering as Kavanji did.
Hard work, but it will be all worth it in the end, I hope...
