Here's the story line up to today in pictures. I bought the truck for $1,000 from a local good ol' boy and made some repairs to this and that, and a few trips to the junk yard to get a few replacement parts. I was finally able to paint everything except for the bed this weekend. I'll be putting the bumper moldings on tomorrow, as the black undercoat isn't dry yet. I've already put the rear lift blocks in (4" rough country suspension lift), and I've got a new set of 35" MTRs in the shed just waiting to go on.

 

 

Wow. Looks great! Looks like the body was pretty nice, besides the worn paint, when you started. Nice job.

Does it sit at that angle with the bed on too? My front coil springs have sagged a lot in the over the years, but I figured maybe yours is just like that because there is no weight on the back.

 

Thanks man... Yeah, the body wasn't in terrible shape, so the bodywork went pretty smoothly. It sits at that angle because I put the 4" lift kit on the back already. Still waiting to put it on the front until the truck is finished, as it won't be able to fit in my garage with the front lift on, I think.

 

nice truck, im jealous

 

Here's the latest of today. I've decided to repaint the cab, fender, and hood. Since that was my first time painting a vehicle, and that was my first section, there were a few mistakes made. Nothing that a sand and repaint won't fix. What do ya'll think?

 

That looks awesome man great job!

 

Looks great!

 

Awesome! I'm wishing I would have went with blue now.
