That's a beautiful truck Gary, looks like you found every man's dream truck to start with, I just found this today linked from the LBBTH thread. I believe this is the first build I've seen here that didn't involve rust repair and repaint, or at least paint repair. Not so sure how "low buck" it was with all the engine, transmission, rear end and suspension rebuilding you did tho, even on the cheap you still tie up a lot of $ in that stuff
. Looks like you did it right tho, and the end result is surely worth way more than what you've got in it. I'm jealous, your truck is exactly what my dream truck looks like in my head. Have you done anything (major) to the interior yet? And what was up with the receiver hitch on the front?
Again, beautiful truck, and inspiring build! Thanks for sharing it.
