Read through your whole build and like the course of action you're following. (A fully functioning truck that I can be proud of, but not cry if it gets scratched) I bought mine in Nov "09 with the same intentions, but cheap is still too expensive for me. Done a little bit, but mainly to pass the safety inspection here in VA. For example had to have properly secured seats and due to rust issues they got spot welded for the time being.
Can't believe snowboarding’s a month away and I'm gonna miss another season. Pound some powder for me.
