Committed now.

It's official, I've begun the stripping of the trim off of the old truck. I'm sure old Grand Dad is frowning somewhere. I've been looking at many a pic of restored trucks and it seems that most people are in favor of my desire to have a cleaner exterior. I'm not sure if it's all going or just the upper set. I've started with the uppers and plan to leave the rest until I'm sure what to do. Unfortunately now that I have the trim off, I've got lots of holes in the body of the truck. Interestingly there are more on the left side than on the right. It appears that the passenger door has been replaced (which I knew about), and possibly the passenger side of the truck bed (which I didn't know about). Both of those parts are missing all of the holes because the trim was applied using stick on clips. who knows when or for how long. Here are some pics. you can compare them to pics in previous posts.
