Default Thought I`d check in.

I figured I`d let you all know what`s been up with my truck lately. I have it driving around the yard great now, and I will post a video of that soon. But since I have been through 2 jobs in the last year and haven`t had alot of money to play with, I haven`t made alot of progress. It still needs an alternator, power steering pump, windshield, exhaust system, and paint job. I will probably paint it with Duplicolor spray on truck bed coating. After all that it needs weatherstripping and the 4WD system finished. I have no front driveshaft or anything to lock the front axle in. But, I am closer than I was to begin with..........

I actually want the truck bed coating. My brother had a truck like that once, and you absolutely couldn`t scratch it. It seems like mud doen`t stick to it as hard either. It also kind of fits the tough look of the truck. The irregular surface should help to hide some of the irregularities in the body gaps too. I have it lined up pretty good, but it will never be perfect after being hit with that big of a tree. I think it was a big oak, at least those were oak limbs under the hood. It didn`t leave a big dent, it left a trench in the front of my truck. But at least it has alot of power. Does one heck of a burnout.
