So how much money do you plan to sink into this bad boy?

As little as possible. Probably $12-1500

That would be quite expensive I'm sure.

Might not be to bad.. IF you don't use actual LineX and just do a less expensive bed liner

Just met my new neighbor who wants this truck bad....he just happens to work for a company that does a line x equivelent....said he can get me a deal

Take the ford hub caps off before i puke....


Great find other wise lol

Already planned to ditch them. Don't have any other 16" hubcaps....have to see how ugly the wheels are though before I ditch em

Or you can run 23.1x34 r2's.

Fwonk yeah!!!


Still want it streetable though, that way I can use it to tow.

Got it home tonight....my 1/2 ton didnt like the trip much.....trailer started wagging at anything over 85kmh/53mph

Seeing as ya'll is pic whores I'll post one. Ill take more tommorow. This is an idea of what it will look like.

Looks kinda like a fire dept truck right now

Okay so I got busy yesterday...Plunked in starter and battery, poured a little gas down the carb and it fired right up. Put 3L of ATF into it and it drove too.

Got a little info on it...350/350 combo, NP205 ( I think gear driven but not 100% sure yet) Corp 14 out back and a Dana 44 up front. Its on 285/75 R16s with a 3" body lift( gonna add suspension lift sooner or later to fit 37-38s). Put it back on trailer to take it to my work shop so I can get after the roof repairs and the bodywork.
Expect moar peektures! But for now heres a few to keep you occupied.

The roof damage.

Dig that GMT 400 rear bumper...

Looks like theres lots of room in here for a 6.0L....

Except for a couple cigarette burns the seat is in amazing shape.

All pics taken with my amazing LG Rumor 2.

Should be good! How do you repair the roof? Do you just have to beat it out or replace the whole roof?

I'm gonna try to massage the roof back out...if that dont work I'll find a donor roof skin. I have a neighbor who owns a glass shop so my window will be cheap ( I have incriminating photos)
