Jacob, looking great! I missed your update as I was out of town on vacation, and then I went on a recovery mission of my own, and finally got a '63 Overlander. There are a lot of similarities between our units, though not now with your modifications of course!
Anyway, you did indeed reference onlinemetals.com as the source for your perforated aluminum rock guard back on page 1 of this thread. I remember because I recorded it in my resource list several months ago. I love the look of your rock guard, and am considering blatantly ripping off your design. Hope you don't mind!
Good luck on your continued progress.
