Drove to work , fueled up and brought home a newly aquired Roll bar for the '76. Now I can mount my ambulance lightbar on the rollbar instead of drilling holes in the roof:thumbs:
Also gave the '00 a quick test flight thru the mud/yard at my shop....:wookie: needs some better rubber but still a...

Swapped turn signal assemblys from the '00 chev to my GMC. Mud truck needs wipers but not turn signals. For the first time in almost a year I have turn signals!
You have to tear the dash down a long way to do the swap.
And because custom touches are cool even on a mud truck I did up a...
Kinda sucks for those guys that actually thought they bought a real world bad ass baja truck from the factory.
In my experience Ford has had weak frames since the late 80s ( on F150s) from the rear axles front spring perches back....Ive seen lots with hairline( or worse) cracks right above...

Cut off muffler and tailpipe, cut hole in box for stack, cranked up torsion bars - '00 Chev

Pics will be posted as build goes and of course...... vids from the bogs when completed:thumbs:
Just keep in mind guys this will be an all out mud truck, no street queens here! Function over looks will set the pace for this build. Im not interested in spending the money to fix it and have it...
I just got this 2000 Chev LT Z71 from a neighbor who had bit off more than he could chew. It was an insurance buy back after being stolen and thrashed. His plan was to fix it back up, add lift, tires etc. Times got tough and it sat....and sat...and sat.
