Sandblasting in Louisiana in July

[37S2de]

What in the world am I thinking?  It seems that my restoration projects always come down to doing the most taxing chores when the heat index is about 108 degrees F.  

 

The sandblasting was delayed because when I went to set up I found that termites had invaded the truck box where I store my sandblasting stuff and not only ate the bags the sand came in, but then made their nests in the sand.  I always screen the sand I use, but some of the organic material from the nests got through. The termites only ate the bags that were underneath, so I didn't notice any damage in the times that I had been in that storage area.

 

Anybody want to take a guess as to what make and year that chassis is?  Here's a hint --- I have strayed from the fold and this chassis did not start life in South Bend, IN.  Some of the usual suspects on this forum are not eligible b cause I have told them of this folly

Tom - Greetings from Germany. - We are cruising down the Rhine and delighted to be out of the heat back home in Arlington TX.  I'm surprised no one has responded with a guess.  Since I know the make I'll refrain from proving an answer.  Did the motor for you found in Oklahoma provide you with the parts you were missing?
