Thanks Bruce. I can't wait for you to see it in person. It's going to be a neat Seabee truck in the end.

I'm not too worried about the body work. I did new rockers, the tailgate skin, and most of the floor pans in my old 1009 blazer and it turned out really clean. The good news is the area where the driver's seat bolts in is solid so I won't fall through. I should be able to drive it while I am working on it once I fix the area around the throttle pedal.

The battery box and the floor underneath is a little rotten, but I got one of those battery relocation kits that puts the batts in the toolbox and turns the space under the seat into the toolbox. I plan on cutting out the bottom and welding in a fresh piece of heavy steel. Then, I'll weld a hasp on the seat bottom so I can lock up my new storage space.
