Thanks to @littlepixel we have a quick photoshop of the truck.

Not entirely the way I want it, but lovely nonetheless.

Its as close as I could get to it right now with minimal cash spent.

Remember this is not a project.

I will certainly look at other colour combos too.

I have a hankering for brown wheels and some autumnal graphics on the white or a beige background.

Lets see what transpires.

Another one of those questions I do like to ask, in order to maximise my own responses and actions.

The sum of us all, is a lot cleverer than one of us.

So, yesterday evening I had the front end up on my low Snap-On 3 ton (I think) jack and saw the different looks available.

I was measuring up the front suspension for @PaulY as he said he may have something that could fit the front end, to replace the parts in there at the moment.

Pics to follow.

So the question was posed by a lawyer friend in St Louis, Missouri, yes the truck has eyes on it all over the globe it seems.
“Are you leaving it that low? “

I need to get it a lot more driveable, despite it actually being good as it is.

What height then?

Off-roader

School run

Gangsta

While crawling around under the truck, I noted the transmission was a TH400 as mentioned by the seller, seems that is a good thing.

So, on to the suspension, or what is needing the attention.

Amazing engineering tool an oxyacetylene torch can be.

Drivers side.

Passengers side.

Shocking shocks all round.

This needs to be addressed.

Soonish.
