So everybody I'm starting my very own build thread. Here's the low down...saved up my money in Iraq and found a great truck off an awesome guy on this board and got it for a real good price. Unfortunately enough the rear tire blew out on the way home so I had to replace it and I’m sure as everyone knows 16.5 tires are hard to come by so i upgraded. More to come.

OH MAN! even though yours is a long fleet 3/4t it reminds me of my first truck a 69 short step white MAN I love it.

Thanks for your military service as well.

thanks everybody. as for what I'm going to do with it. for now just put a toolbox in the back...probably some different mufflers and possibly headers, of course a radio as it's stereo-less at the moment and some kick panel speakers but like I said this is all going to come at a slow pace because it's all on my not so giant budget haha...thanks for all the comments

So I went to the junkyard today and picked up a good drivers side door handle and a drivers side window crank...also slapped some new knobs for the locks and put the old country bumpkin mirrors on there at the SoCal Meet...no pictures yet but i will have some up soon.
